Police chases are dangerous, plus they use up a ton of precious fuel. Bottom line, they can cost Police a lot of money and innocent people can get killed. It’s not like anyone can actually get away from the police anyway, but criminals are never short on stupidity.

Thanks to new tracking technology, the police won’t have to endure dangerous chases. Instead, they have the option of shooting a tracking device that sticks to the car and then let the perp get away while they put together some backup and then safely handle the situation on their terms. The device is a small GPS receiver, with a wireless transmitter and battery that would be fired from the bumper of a police cruiser.
