Here’s an “innovation” we hope will remain a design concept: the Scarab Chase Assistant is an electric semi-autonomous police vehicle. When a speeder zips by, a cop electronically tags that car with radar, and then sends the Scarab scurrying after it. What does this little RoboCop do when it catches up to the speeder? (more)

The police are sort of like DJs, except they’re significantly more likely to shock you with a Taser than a crappy joke from Fark or an inane trivia question. If you’re absolutely sure you don’t have any warrants, (obviously dead) bodies, booze, weed, guns, radar detectors, broken tail lights, dim tag lights, girls with suspiciously large breasts and high heels, busted turning signals, or tinted windows, though, it’s probably safe to go ahead and risk a stunt like these two. (more)
