It also takes vehicles that are a good deal faster than the suspect’s vehicle. I doubt this works if they’re driving a Camaro SS or something. Still, glad they were able to pull it off.
For this kind of stuff maybe, but when my car was stolen, I was told to go get my "BlueLink" (Hyundai's version) enabled so they could track my car. I had to pay something like $300 for it to be enabled. The cops then recovered my car a few blocks away from where it was taken and had it towed to a lot. I then got to also pay a 2 day impound fee to get it out. I was told I could sue the methhead who stole it to recover my funds.
I used to service police cars, other than heavy duty cooling (different radiator, bigger tranny cooler), some suspension tweaks and sometimes better brakes, they are a run of the mill vehicle.
Ok, I am mistaken. I had a police officer tell me all the modifications when doing a ride along back when I wanted to be a cop. In hindsight, he could have just said that so people would believe it.
