So some sections of Canada apparently have hideous car theft problems so the Canadian government started a program of specially modified vehicles designed to be easily disabled remotely and equipped with internal video monitoring and gps tracking. Check out some of the video clips. Most are NSFW.
It's pretty darn funny.

I hope they throw the book at all of them.

Oh well, maybe others haven't either. It's worth posting twice.

I'm almost certain I've heard of some cities in the United States doing this too.

Bait Bus has been doing something like this for years. Old news.
