" StarChase in beta test with L.A. Police Department<br>
<br>
"StarChase announced it signed a letter of intent with the Los Angeles
Police Department to beta test its vehicle tagging-and-tracking
solution. The solution lets officers fire a plum-sized device at a
vehicle whether it is moving or stationary at a range of 30 feet. When
the device strikes the vehicle, it immediately affixes using a
specially formulated epoxy. <br>
<br>
The system, which is CAD and AVL compatible, use low -pressure
compressed air (85 PSI) to launch the tagging device -- about what a
paintball gun uses to fire a pellet, which is considered non-lethal
force. An officer can fire the device while inside the vehicle, or when
walking towards the suspect using a hand-held wireless device. "<br>
