      pretty good idea if you ask me... could help save the lives of some innocent people that get caught in the middle of these high speed chases and i'm sure it will allow them to pursue by helicopter a hell of a lot easier

        Bratton, who often calls the city the car chase capital of the world, was asked why there are so many pursuits in Los Angeles: "There are a lot of nuts here," he said.

          So what's to stop them from getting out of the car and pulling it off?
          money talks and bullshit walks.

            Stupid idea. The bad guys could just pull over and kick the GPS ball off the back of the car.

                    dude....great if its a super adhesive....it is problyt just the size of a golf ball but when it hits it should spread and stick....

                    if it works, about time we use the technology for something useful

                            Its like the the cops will have no damn clue where the guys are people. They will be close enough to them to nab them if they stop to take off the device or switch cars.

                                  That's exactly what I thought. There's no cops around so you have a minute to pull over and rip this thing off your car and throw it onto another car. Its easier just to have a helicopter pursue the car until the car stops.

                                    Well I doubt they're just going to fire the damn thing and call it a day...


                                    They just won't have to pursue him at a dangerous 70-80 mph. All they have to do is keep following him at a reasonable pace until he eventually stops or crosses into a police Heavy zone. The ball is designed to avoid innocent bystanders being killed by car chases.

                                    If the police aren't following him at high speeds, the runaway won't have to go so fast, thus less danger. But the whole game remains the same as any car chase... they wait for him to make a stupid move/blow his tires with spike tracks or wait for him to completely stop.

                                        Good car chases kill innocent people. And they usually start because someones had a few drinks, or an outstanding warrant for unpaid tickets.

                                            Well the good news is we won't have to wait too long to find out...

                                            The other day I was watching the news and there was a car chase in or near Temecula/Lake Elsinore and then it ended and minutes later one began up closer to L.A.

                                            It's a great idea. A lot safer for the cops, suspect and the rest of the public. They will still follow the vehicle, just at a much better distance. I'm sure they will continue to follow with the helicopter just as much as they do now.

                                                    It just stops them from pursuing them via high speed chase. It's not like they'll give up and check on them at a later time.

                                                      You really think that that's going to be on their mind? Plus the tracking device will know where they're at anyways. So once it stops, I'm sure they'll have cops in that area anyways.

                                                          I thought thats why they had helicopters. To follow the car without having to tail them in a car at high speed.

                                                            I've often seen the helicoptors lose track of the car they are pursuing. Usually they re-spot them but occasionally they don't.
