maybe come up with a technology that tags the car and monitor it with predator drones, and chase the car from a far distance until the car stop, then move in
I don't care what the Perp has done, you just can't chase them in the middle of town. This is a very predictable result and it happens all too often.
Not saying that this was a chase of illegals, but it was California.
Just read the other day that GM's "OnStar" system now has a feature that allows OnStar,at the direction of the police,to slowly (and,it's claimed,safely) bring to a stop a car equipped with it that's involved in a police chase.And I know that there's at least one European car maker that has a feature that's basically the same as OnStar (same basic technology).
OR used the new armed drones, and if the guy runs, blow him up. :-)
You are on a conservative site and you suggest a big brother tactic like that? We already have a "tagging" device on cars, they are called license plates. See, the number on each plate is original to that car, so when a cop gets close enough to get the number, he can then back off, radio in and get the name, address, birth date, hair color, eye color, what type of toothpaste the owner of the car uses and use this info to later go to the home of the traffic violator and arrest them.
In my county the cops use this tactic quite frequently to good affect. They can also radio ahead and have the nail strips placed in strategic spots if the criminal is wanted for something other than running a red light of speeding. There is no need to go any more nanny state than we already are.
