Very cool idea. I imagine they will soon be experimenting to have this webbing shot from a mini mortar or something to increase standoff distance.

 
Have to catch them first. If you watch some of those chases sometimes the police can't get close. Yes I agree it will work with some so I guess some is better than none.

I thought this was going to be a electronic solution. GPS kill or something like that. Since most of the cars being pursued are relatively new. Stolen.

I agree something that kills the computer / electronics in the vehicle seems like the way to go since every vehicle made for a generation has electronic ignition/computer controls...doesn't seem to hard to zap the vehicle ignition system some way while following it
 
GM advertised the remote kill feature on TV...I think it was a suburban or something like that and a kid crossing the street about to get hit when OnStar killed the engine. The technology is already there.
 
I thought that the guy in the stolen Hellcat Challenger that out ran the helicopter, and the cops for an hour until he ran the car out of gas was cool as hell. They had nothing for him! Lol
 
BFG5000 and depleted uranium. Plus side is that you never run out of bubblegum... :bananadance:
 
How many cars have to have them in order to have effective coverage of an urban area? What are the odds of a patrol car equipped with one to be in an area where there's a pursuit? I don't see it being put into use.

A target emp at the cars electronics. Not some gonzo unit. Something with enough juice to shut the car down, or make it go into limp mode. Shutting a car down at high speed would be messy. Don't care about the perp, the innocent bystanders, and other drivers are the people that have to be protected.
 
If the police do not pursue them, then there will not be a pursuit.:rolleyes:
 
Give each department one of these.....

this should cut down the numbers of stolen cars in the future......:steering:
