Canadian police arming themselves with GPS arrows

Canadian police have a new weapon in the fight against fleeing motorists.

So far, eight police cars equipped with the arrows, which are incorporated in the front of the car. ' We knew we needed additional resources to tackle offenders while risk narrowed to the public, 'said a police spokeswoman. ' We know from experience that there are always risks to come and see if you bet the chase. ''

Agents use a special panel in their cars to fire the arrows. The projectiles attach himself to the bumper or the license plate of the fleeing vehicle, which can then be tracked with the GPS system.

That happened Wednesday for the first time when a driver refused to stop. According to the police was that test a success.
