Al Qaeda will have a wonderful time causing 500-car pileups at the Autobahn with a remote control.
Someone will sell a radio shielding kit to defeat this.
How much can John Edwards collect when they stop someones pacemaker?
I used to work with Dr. David Giri on Electromagnetic Pulse testing (EMP) back in the day.
I'll bet there was a huge puddle of drool at Edward's feet when he thought of that.
Maybe they ought to bring back the fleeing felon law and just shot the idiot that runs and places everyones life in danger.
A 4000 lbs vehicle is a deadly weapon and should be treated as such.
An EMP gun, yeehaw!
57 Chevy Panel Truck and 85 HD Softtail Custom. Rotsa' ruck on my vehicles.
Hot Pursuit has always been a dangerous undertaking. A woman was killed here a few years back while they chased a drunk driver...that is so ridiculous. WHY would anyone chase a drunk driver...just take tag number and go to their house and arrest them. Yes they are a danger, but why make sure they kill someone.
I don't know what the solution is, but it isn't always a high speed chase. More innocents die in these chases than criminals, check the statistics.
Time to shield the car's electronics in a Faraday shield. Either that or buy a 1965 Mercury Park Lane with a Breezaway style roof. B-) A 1959 DeSoto looks quite nice too. B-P
"I used to work with Dr. David Giri on Electromagnetic Pulse testing (EMP) back in the day."
EMP is the principle, for sure.
I was thinking an RPG solution. Geez just think about it lets say oh three maybe four fried homeboys and the stolen car problem is cut in half... Hey I can dream can't I?
Cool!
If this device fails, then it's Bush's fault.
"I was thinking an RPG solution" I bet its cheaper than the hi tech gun

Different technology, same market -
Ionatron Inc. is a privately held development stage company that has developed and tested a proprietary new Directed Energy Weapon technology, which, in a non-lethal mode, can direct electrical discharges through the atmosphere to disable vehicles, such as cars, trucks or boats, without harming the vehicles' occupants. These discharges can also shut down electronic and communications equipment. When fully developed, this technology will also have the capability of stunning personnel, in a manner similar to a common TASER (R)-- but in a wireless manner and over much longer distances. Ionatron has already commenced the production of a limited number of prototypes for customer evaluation and testing within the customers' specific environments and missions. Ionatron believes its technology is superior to many of the other Directed Energy technologies in development, due to its low average power requirements and potential compact size. Ionatron's technology is also multifunctional in capability, with various military, homeland defense and law enforcement applications. Ionatron has recently secured several US Government contracts and had its technology funded as a line item in the 2004 DOD Defense Budget.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but I thought I read that the people that invented the Radar for speeding cars also invented the Radar Detector?
