The grappler.

Have you heard about the Police Grappler Bumper?

 

It's a new device for police to stop cars in a pursuit.

It works and is usually only done at relatively low speeds, as in when a stolen vehicle makes a turn. It appears the police car has to "bump" the fleeing vehicle to set the grappler off.

 

However, there have been cases where the grappler tore the rear axle off the fleeing vehicle. Same result, though, the thieves had to get out and walk.

 

I watched a police chasing a motorcyclist on video last week, the police car was doing 140mph! Never caught the biker until he ran off the road and fell off, though.
