ABSTRACT:
A system for tracking a motor vehicle is disclosed, which includes a device that can be magnetically or mechanically affixed to a vehicle. For one example, the device includes a GPS receiver and a data transmitter. When the device is activated and affixed to a vehicle, the GPS receiver provides to the data transmitter latitudinal and longitudinal earth-referenced coordinate data representing the current position of the vehicle. The data transmitter transmits the coordinate data, which is received by a suitable data receiver at a remote distance from the vehicle involved. Thus, the device enables law enforcement personnel to remotely monitor and track the vehicle's movements, without being seen by the suspect driver and encouraging a high speed chase. Also, the device provides a relatively inexpensive vehicle tracking solution for those municipalities that have a “no chase” policy and cannot afford the expense of a helicopter for vehicle pursuits.
