Louisville Tests GPS Tracker for Chases

Louisville is testing a high-tech solution to dangerous police chases: GPS trackers that can be fired at fleeing vehicles, letting officers track them remotely without risking lives. Called StarChase, the $108,000 pilot program aims to reduce high-speed pursuits while still targeting serious crimes. Police see it as a smart tool to handle situations safely amid staffing shortages, not a replacement for officers. Other cities are already experimenting, and civil liberties groups say it’s okay—if used responsibly with probable cause. The city council will decide if this tech is worth expanding.
