Criminals beware – cop car of the future is here

I know of proposals like this as far as 8years back this is hardly the future SA is just slow as per usual.
 
Cell jammer , radar jammer and laser jammer .
Next .
 
The UK have been using these for about a decade now. That is the main reason why they stopped using licence discs.

Most of the police cars have been fitted with ALPR cameras and there are fixed cameras on the highways that serve this purpose as well.

Also, I am curious to know if the tech really makes a difference to crime levels if the people in charge of it lack the will power to properly use it. For example, did the crime levels in Jo'burg CBD really drop since they installed the close-circuit cameras?

Imagine if a lot more people had access to the database, being able to query a number plate on the spot.

They have this really annoying tech in the UK called "average speed checking". It calculates your average speed past 2 points. So even if know the location of the cameras slowing down before each one doesn't help. Depending on how fast you where going you may actually have to come to a stop for a minute. And now the effing Kent County Council have seen fit to restrict the speed on the dual carriage way coming into Dover to 40 mph for that 9 miles, using this tech to enforce the speed limit. Mother#### !
All because of the Euro truck drivers.
 
They do average speed checking most of the way down the n3 now as well.

Why do you have to speed? (if your average is too high, you must be speeding)

Yes, I ran into this particular niggle back in 2000 on the i-95 interstate in Florida. :(

There was a Carte Blanche insert a few months back where they followed Cape Town's ghost squad, where guys would intentionally try dice and get away from the cops as a cat and mouse game.

The undercover squad use those high tech performance cars...
 
I saw a car that shooted someone in de head cause he was stealing. It was a VW with GTI mags.
