A possible way to end dangerous police pursuits

A Virginia start-up called StarChase will soon unveil a
system aimed at taking some of the danger out of police pursuits.

The new system uses compressed air to fire an epoxy-coated projectile at a fleeing vehicle, thus attaching a GPS chip set, wireless modem and power supply to enable continuous remote tracking.

Field tests will begin soon, and StarChase intends to officially unveil the system at next month's IAPC Conference in Miami.
