Pretty cool idea and seems to work very well.

Very interesting. I'm not in love with the tether, but as long as it is releasable with (nearly) 100% reliability, it may be nice to have as an option. A taut knee-to-waist height line that the suspect has a vote in the control of doesn't sit well with me. Obviously if the snag is needed they were willing to run. It would make a vehicle approach considerably more dangerous.

Because we all just have a Chevy Suburban with a big fancy hook thing handy when speeds get up to 120+

This would make the case to use all those drug dealer ones you confiscate :)

Right.......
But it says "As seen on TV" on the box.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Looks good in the movies, in RL i cant see it being very practical. I can't see the driver being chased keep himself lined up so the cop car can snag him. They would be juking and jinking around avoiding the snag. And most roads have curves in them, which would foil the snag, too.

Most vehicles are being made lighter and lighter these days, and the cop car could end up being a trailer rather than a stopper.

Interesting idea, but needs work IMO

Cop chases usually only last a few minutes(around here anyways) and are a clusterfuck of stuff happening and evolving really quickly.

The one from the bank robbery the other day was 8.4 miles and hit speeds well over 115 mph and only lasted a few minutes and you couldn't even get on the radio to say anything. Ended before you could even think about getting a pit in. Not that we needed to with my skills of driving, just follow until they lose it!
