Thought about this before, surprised it's not already in use, I am sure the military will already have something much better they aren't telling us about yet.

I can see the good points, but in the wrong hands it has some bad points, you can already get Jamming Devices for jamming Trackers, in the wrong hands you could have someone down a quiet road hijacking and robbing at will, the victim drives up to the criminal. It would need to have safeguards to keep it out of the wrong hands and that I cannot see happening.

just pull out in front of the crooks with a police caravan that will stop them. the trouble is getting the caravan to the scene in the first place  At work
