There is that technology, but unfortunately, its all too expensive to put in use on the hundreds of police departments and the thousands of police squad cars. All police forces (or so I know) use procedures like setting up spike strips and the P.I.T. maneuver, but things like that are not guaranteed to stop the chase.

I've seen a lot of police chases on the television, but never in person, and only saw one on live news television (the rest were all on shows like Disorderly Conduct), it was a short chase involving a man fleeing from a few squad cars in a white Chevrolet Imapala (circa 2001). Wasn't the most spectacular chase, because the guy gave up after getting his car stuck in a ditch. The most insane I've ever seen was that one chase where this guy stole a military tank and drove it down the urban streets and highways in Los Angeles. I think its still up on YouTube. I saw it on The World's Wildest Police Videos a while back.
