GPS Ammunition - New Harmful Weapon of US Police

US police have been armed with a weapon of the highest quality in the James Bond movie: GPS positioning bullets can track the location of a suspect's car.

The bullet is designed to make safe high-speed chases, which make the authorities track the suspect without risking their lives or others.

The mechanism of operation of the GPS rounds is as follows: the system will be activated by pressing a button mounted inside the police car. A lid will then open to launch a GPS bullet and attach it to the target car in front.

Once the bullet has caught up with the suspect's car, the police can stop the hunt. Special ammunition allows the authorities to monitor and determine the location and speed of a suspicious vehicle close to what is happening in the real world.

"This is an important tactic for the police , " said Trevor Fischbach, director of the company's production site, Starchase . to prevent the driver breaking the law ".

Starchase has been used in four US states, Iowa, Florida, Arizona and Colorado. The installation cost for a police car is $ 5,000 and each GPS cartridge costs $ 500.

The company plans to put the Starchase system in the UK.

Dave Allen, a senior lecturer at the University of Leeds (UK) and co-author of a recent report on future technology for UK police, appreciates the usefulness of the positioning system. He said that the cost of this harm weapon would be significantly reduced in the future, making it more popular.

However, Allen warns that GPS bulletins can lead to a number of civil rights issues.
