This item in Friday's LA Times caught my attention. It un-asks
the question of how to deal with the dangers of high-speed car chases
by proposing a way to eliminate the high-speed chase.<br><br>An
air-propelled sticky projectile, about the size of a golf ball and
containing a GPS receiver, is shot at the car being pursued. The
car can then be tracked via radio triangulation at a safe speed and
distance. A four to six month trial with a small number of patrol
cars is beginning in Los Angeles.
<br><br>If the technology proves its effectiveness, I wonder what
objections will be thrown at this innovation and whether any will stick.<br></blockquote></div><br>
Even better if they put a small radio controlled bomb in it.<br>
