horse shit! LEO can miss and hit someone elses car. Also, just because you are being pursued doesnt mean you are guilty of a crime. Cops can be creeps.

If the tracker hits your car you'll probably be guilty of stealing[1] law enforcement property. [1]https://futurism.com/cops-charge-man-stealing-gps-tracker https://futurism.com/cops-charge-man-stealing-gps-tracker

  No, you wouldn't, because theft requires mens rea.

    Good luck at your upcoming criminal jury trial.

      I guess I'll hire Heuring's lawyers instead of a public defender, because he was the intended target of his GPS tracker, and he ultimately beat the theft charges and the entire search warrant. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/removing-a-gps-tracking-device-from-your-car-isnt-theft-court-rules/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/removing-a-gps-t...

      And those charges were dropped -- they weren't found guilty.

      Anybody can be charged with anything. It does not mean they will be convicted.

        Oh, okay, good thing that being charged and not convicted has no adverse impacts in this country. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/15/atlanta-jail-man-dead-eaten-bed-bugs https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/15/atlanta-jail...

This is basically a NERF gun. In the vanishingly unlikely event that you need to, you can file a claim for damage to your vehicle.

It's not a bullet. It's a nerf dart and only flies about 35 feet. If you are close enough to get hit by one of these, you're already in a fucking dangerous situation and should probably not just drive home like nothing happened. Also if they wanted to track you, they already can, and this really doesn't help them in any particular way. Hidden GPS devices have been around for years now.
