Ya, but, the fleeing bad guy turns off at the last exit ramp and here comes widow Ms. Tinglething. She doesn't see the squid. The police need to carry some depends when they are on this duty.

Interesting idea there....and living here in the Los Angeles area (A.K.A. Car Chase Capital of the World) it could probably get used pretty frequently!! I'd LOVE to see it in action!

But really, can it work in most cases?? Seems like it only works for rear wheel drives with an exposed drive shaft. BMW's don't qualify (at least the new ones; don't know if the old ones had their drive shaft exposed), so you can still get away in a BMW.
