Cops Stop High-Speed Chase With High-Tech Grappler

A high speed pursuit filled with drama.

The yellow sports car up ahead won't stop.

Then something happens you might expect in a Spider-Man movie.

A high tech device is being deployed to bring the high speed chase to a screeching halt.

It's like a netting from a giant spider web.

Look how it's activated under the rear tire.

It wraps around the tire of the fleeing vehicle and stops all forward motion.

And get this, the device, which is being introduced by police departments everywhere, was invented by a roofer with zero law enforcement experience.

Leonard Stock had the idea after watching a deadly high-speed chase live on TV.

As I was watching it, I was just cringing when I would see that happen.

I hope that lives are being saved.

That's the only reason I'm doing this.

Here's a good look at how it works.

As the net is unfurled, police get as close as they can to the fleeing suspects.

Whoosh, there it goes.

The chase is brought to an end without anyone getting injured.

Some people do think that it shoots out of the police vehicle, but it actually stays attached to the grappler unit and is directed into the tire.

In the most recent case in Florida, two 17 year old suspected carjackers are learning you can't evade the grappler.
