Police departments across the country are increasingly tagging fleeing cars with GPS tracking darts, instead of engaging in dangerous chases.

    I’m my county a high percentage of cars have GPS trackers fitted already - by the owner - because of the high vehicle theft rate.

    I imagine if that police here just have to call up the tracking company to achieve the same result - something to think about actually (I don’t have one, my car isn’t worth much)

      I think if you’re in a car chase type situation, firing a dart is probably quicker than accessing someone else’s database
