With all due respect, choppers get outrun and out maneuvered almost daily. The altitude they would have to maintain to get a clear shot, in an urban setting, would preclude any reliable degree of accuracy.
Why are we still trying to solve problems for our illogical and antiquated systems of transit?
If we could clear our heads, and think creatively, take the money out of the thought process; we could create a system that would eliminate car chases, a large majority of crashes, traffic jams, and pollution.
Seriously, we are looking at trillions of dollars in highway and road infrastructure improvements and expansion. Wouldn’t we be far better off spending that money on a forward thinking system. One that isn’t mostly consumable, and in constant need of repair/replacement, and that addresses a myriad of issues in one fell swoop?
In a personal and connected hybrid system of transiting, we could do this, and keep our cars, too.
Dang, I’m sorry for going so wide with your thread.
But, please, do wake me when we actually enter the 21st Century. LOL
You can still sleep awhile. It's only the steam age.

Even better: Tax breaks for companies who promote working from home. You would need less roads, less cars and less fuel and terrorism becomes much more difficult with less people out in public. Your earnings go farther if you don't have all of the added costs of working in an office (clothes, etc), not to mention all the the time you would get back by not commuting.
