A new high-tech tool for police provides alternative to todays high speed police chases....called a two way radio....

You may outrun my old chevrolet, but you can't outrun my 'ol two way....Leroy's waiting at the station (up the street?) just to hear from me....(an old country song)

Am I missing something here?

Law Enforcement spends millions to develop high-tech system to shoot a car-chase suspect's vehicle with what amounts to a spitball countaining a global positioning gizmo, probably costing several tens of thousands of dollars.

As the squad cars back off the chase - at the first corner spectator runs out and pulls the spitball off the back bumper, and promptly sticks it on the first passing citizen's ride.

LEO's end up pulling over and shooting the citizen when they freak out - all of which makes bad guys bolder, and car chases even more riveting.

Duh. It this all too difficult to see ahead of time?

What's needed - is one of those pitchfork-looking electronic zapper gizmo's, shown in the sequel to "Fast and Furious", which short-circuited the engine electronics in the chased car.

Sure it was Hollywood, but that would make more sense than hitting the bad guys with an expensive spitball. That's just ridiculously naive.

Lets wait and see the test results. I forsee buildings and pedestrians being hit with stray darts.


Give one to the Texas Border Patrol;)

A launcher fires a Dart into a car that includes a GPS system used to track the car.

Maybe they can just "cut to the chase" and stop the car the old fashioned way.

It would be even more effective if they launched a Stinger instead of a Dart.

Maybe we should scrap the dart plan and just have them throw spider-tracers? I know Spider-man has been making them since the 60's so the technology is already viable. They are too small to hurt anyone and if any one sees it then they will just think it's a crazy monochromatic spider. It's a flawless plan I tells ya, FLAWLESS!
