Default LA cops giving up high speed chases in trade for sticky GPS cannon!

SHoot suspect car, and wait... I suspect the suspect (like that clever wording? ) will probably run slower when the cops aren't right on his tail - probably keeping things safe hi a slow speed pursuit!

PS. ALl criminals should now invest in a GPS jammer: http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/Y050TG.htm

Of they could just rip the thing off and toss it away, or better yet maybe reattach it to another car.
