I'm curious, how does it "stick?"  Logical assumption would be
magnetic...  hmm, maybe it's time to look into getting an Avanti, or
maybe one of those aluminum-bodied Audis :)

This is incredibly boneheaded!

They get the location of the car with a GPS.  So what?  They already have the
location of the car now, via helicopters.  Anything that they could do with
this device they can already do via observation from the helicopter.

The only improvement here might be for bad weather and night use where the
chopper is less effective.

Their main problem is that the cops are so boneheaded that they fail to
overtake and box in the fleeing suspect.  They simply chase... and chase... and
chase... and even when they have the suspect vehicle stopped, they fail to
manuever into his path such that he cannot take off again, as we probably all
saw last week when that nut-job drove the wrong way up an on-ramp and hit a car
head-on.  Just before that, they had him stopped, but the cops didn't box him
in.  Are they afraid of denting their cruisers?

Its not the the technology, its the cops!

Wrong.

The appropriate tool will be a rocket launched harpoon which is fired into
the rear window and opens up hooks, with a cable attached to the police car.
The cop simply puts on the brakes and the pursuit ends.

There will be exactly 1 more chase once these are installed on cop cars.

[...]

So once the chase is off the miscreant dives into the nearest parking
garage, dumps the dart onto another car, and continues on his merry
way.
