What do you think of my opinion of gadgets used by the police? Explain your answer! Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher
The police pursuits, in my opinion, is just something that is very dangerous, not just for the police officers responding or for the offender but is also very dangerous for the community around, for the kids crossing the streets, the joggers running down the avenue, the vehicles stopped at the traffic light, everyone is at risk. When the pursuit starts, the offender's intent is to run away from the police no matter what. Don't tell me that you never watched on the television how the police pursuits ended up like. Most of the time, the pursuits end up in big accidents causing harm to innocent people that were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Currently, the police patrol vehicles are equipped with technology that can in fact support them during pursuits like license plate readers, radio communication systems, and GPS devices. The new vehicle-mounted GPS launcher showed in the video could be something that can make a difference in the future of pursuits. The police officers would be able to launch the tag (GPS tracker) from inside or outside of the patrol vehicle and once the tag is attached to the vehicle, it will transmit a constant GPS signal to the receiving device without compromising the officer and the community safety. This will allow the responding agency to abort the pursuit and let the technology do its job and instead of chasing the vehicle, the law enforcement agency can send the police vehicles to the location of the vehicle once the vehicle gets to a complete stop.

This Technology can be very promising but I can see situations where the effectiveness can be compromised, for example, motorcycles, how you will be able to launch the device and attach it to such a small target efficiently? It can be situations that the technology can't be used as planned but, in my opinion, the combination between technology and the existing law enforcement resources, like air units, undercover patrols, can be the perfect combination and together come up with the best and safest plan to avoid put the officers and the community at risk.
