Tagging Devices To Aid In Car Chases
kthejoker writes "ABC News is reporting that a company called StarChase has invented a device that will allow police teams to 'tag' cars involved in dangerous chases. The device is the size of a golf ball, can be launched via an air-powered shooter attached to police vehicles, and uses a "highly efficient" glue to stick to cars. From there, it transmits its GPS position to a central monitoring station."
Why develop such a device when we already have 50 caliber machine guns and automatic grenade launchers and shoulder-launched anti-armor rockets?
Remember: If you are nice to such people then you will end up with more such people. The best approach is to take them out of the gene pool at the very first opportunity, so don't jail 'em, kill 'em!
There really is some merit to the Chinese method of "two strikes and you are dead" providing it isn't abused for political purposes. No point of keeping some whacko sociopath locked up at the cost of twenty grand a year, just whack 'em and be done with it. If they give you the opportunity on the first go 'round, well, take it -- that's what opportunity is all about.
To those who suggest rehabilitation, please reference the recividism rates in the U.S. Rehabilitation as a correctional concept is a huge failure and needs to be brought to a meeting with reality.
Everything in the Universe sucks: It's the law!
That's a great idea!
How about we let the government implant us all at birth with a chip that has our Social Security number and the ability to stop us from moving. This way if we're convicted of doing a felony (because the justice system never fails) they can just stop us from having the ability to run away from people! Or maybe have us walk towards the nearest re-education center.
