Yet another reason to buy old cars. Screw "black box" recorders and the current congress-think towards mandated gps tracking.
On the other hand, having worked on a similar setup while at university, these are not particularly difficult to build. Mounting one in the boot of said old car would make for a wonderful time when the rozzers come calling.
- wahsd 13y agoCan we please stick to standard English. Rozzers = British enforcers of the crown. FYI, guarantee that police and all other emergency vehicles will not be outfitted with wire mesh enclosures to protect from such shenanigans.
- fotbr 13y agoArticle is from the British Broadcasting Company, about a British company testing the product at an airfield in Worcestershire, England. Me throwing "rozzers" in was simply a bit of humour. As for the last: 1) Defending against such a system is not as simple as adding "mesh enclosures" 2) Defenses are not cheap, and won't be added to "police and all other emergency vehicles" for the simple reason that it's too expensive to do so. 3) Unless you're in an OJ style "chase" where there's nothing behind you except police cars, there's plenty of other vehicles that can be disabled, causing havoc that the police would (also) have to deal with. Note: I'm not actually advocating using such a device to get away from the police. I do, however, think it is an eventuality, and when it happens, I will find it amusing, in the same way that I find just about any instance of people directly thumbing their noses at authority amusing.
