Technology May Halt Police Pursuits

USA TODAY
Emerging technology could soon slam the brakes on high-speed police chases, which kill hundreds and injure thousands every year.
OnStar, the unit behind General Motors' GPS-based in-vehicle security system, offers Stolen Vehicle Slowdown technology: An OnStar operator can send a signal to a vehicle, restricting its fuel and slowing it to 3-5 mph. The technology is available on about 1 million 2009 GM vehicles, OnStar spokesman Jim Kobus says.
Another company, Virginia Beach-based StarChase, is field-testing its Pursuit Management System. It's a launcher on the front of a police car that fires projectiles that stick on a fleeing vehicle targeted by laser, enabling police to track it by GPS.
The system, which has been tested by police in Columbus, Ohio, and Suffolk County, N.Y., is in final testing by the Los Angeles police, StarChase spokeswoman Mandy McCall says. "That kind of technology is exactly what we need," says Geoff Alpert, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina. "One of the most powerful tools the police have is to turn off their lights and siren because the pursued suspect will slow down."
David Hiller, national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police and chief of the 44-officer Grosse Pointe Park, Mich., police department, calls the OnStar technology "very effective."
"We have to engage in police chases," he says. "Any technology that assists us in preventing ... crashes is welcome."
Barry Steinhardt of the American Civil Liberties Union says the OnStar technology is fine as long as the vehicle's owner is the person reporting it stolen.
Last year, 424 people were killed in police chases, according to federal statistics, and more than 40,000 people die each year in vehicle crashes.
The technology raises hopes but is no magic solution, says Candy Priano, whose 15-year-old daughter, Kristie, was killed in a police chase in 2002.
"The human element plays a far more integral part in chases than any technology," she says. "I hear the police saying, 'Our policy is restraint,' but I don't see them actually implementing it."
Priano, 56, says many chased suspects are accused of shoplifting and minor traffic violations. "None of these were murder, rape or pedophile suspects," says Priano of Chico, Calif. Her daughter was killed by a teen who had taken her mother's car and was fleeing police, Priano says. "They (police) knew her name," she says. "They knew her address. It was the mother who had called in."

Apparently you and min0 have some sort of boyhood crush on me, considering that he would have almost had to have been searching for my posts to find one in the research chem section. It's kinda cute, actually. I would probably follow around myself if my life were as seemingly pathetic as min0's-he must have so much going on and be able to have 30 thousand some posts on a website.

The first three times you went and called me an idiot on 3 different occasions I ignored it, I even laughed at it, the first time you told me to stop making threads against crooked politicians I ignored you.....you seem to follow me around.
Today was a slow day at IM and your thread on your erectile dysfunction stood out like a sore thumb...no, no (voice of Stewie) like a limp dick.
Your just a jerk.

Getting back to Stewie which you use as your avatar....I love the show and his character but your choice makes me wonder a bit.
Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin is a fictional character in the animated series Family Guy. Stewie is obsessed with world domination and matricide, and has an ambiguous sexual orientation.

Your threads are in general chat. Mine was in a sub-forum of the anabolic zone, great comparison. Originally Posted by min0 lee

You can't even spell "you're" correctly. You are an idiot, sorry.
You were on here last night posting at 11pm on a fucking Saturday night lol. I don't really need to say anything more. I've only lived in my current city for a couple of months, and I probably have a more exciting social life than the past decade of your meager existence. I won't reply to anything further from you, I can't really make you look any worse than what you've done to yourself.

Funny thing is that we were watching the movie Elf with my kids last night and this part reminded me of you. Originally Posted by TexanTA1996

You make a point to go into every thread Mino starts to troll. You really need to get a life, or fuck off.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”
