You Can Run...

Leave it to the movie capital of the world to come up with a made-for-a-schlocky-Bruckheimer-film solution to the scourge of police pursuits. LAPD will now turn to the advanced technology of paintball to shoot GPS sensors embedded in what seems to be a wad of gum at the fleeing suspect's car. Then, in a real life enactment of every bad caper movie, a trooper will follow the target on a computer screen. Presumably helicopters will be employed to prevent the suspects from simply exiting the vehicle once out of range of the non-pursuing cops.
