Police Unveil GPS Tracking Bullets

Cops and State troopers in Iowa and police in St. Petersberg, Fla., now have the ability to shoot a sticky GPS-loaded bullet from an air cannon gun located on the front of cruisers. The new device literally sticks to the back of a fleeing vehicle so authorities can track it.

High speed chases are about to change in a big way with the GPS device, called StarChase, now police can slow down and pursue the suspect strategically.

Proponents of the device also hope it means suspects will be fooled into thinking the police have given up, and themselves drive more slowly and safely.
