GPS Tracker Shooting Guns

People have been suggesting this as a law enforcement tool for a long time, but it is now finally ready for prime time. 

[T]he New York Police Department debuted its latest set of high-tech policing equipment. We New York denizens will soon come face to face with robot dogs, daleks, and something new: A pneumatic gun that can fire a sticky GPS tracker at a moving vehicle.

The New York Police Department finally has a device based on a rifle that can shoot sticky GPS trackers at fleeing cars, potentially reducing the need for dangerous high speed chases.
