LAPD to test squad car launched GPS darts to track high-speed chases
Really, nobody is going to argue with the fact that LA's televised car chases are one of the top reasons to live -- and not to live -- in SoCal, but it looks like the LAPD isn't exactly as into the high-speed pursuits as we are, and are going to start testing a GPS dart system to spend less time chasing and more time catching criminals. They'll be equipping a few patrol cars with compressed air launchers to fire mini GPS receivers, embedded in a sticky goo the size of a golf ball. From there they'll just track the car's location instead of waiting for an 80 mph catastrophe.
