Harpoon Car Literally Punches You With the Long Arm of the Law

This is ostensibly a device developed for state troopers in Finland, for the purpose of catching fleeing speedsters with outstanding arrest warrants on Finland’s Deadliest High-Speed Chases.  It’s a harpoon that attaches to the front of a patrol car, and it spears and secures the offender’s car.  Oh, and then it pumps tear gas into the haplessly skewered vehicle like some kind of poison SuperSoaker or sexual metaphor performed by Volvos.

This weapon never really went into production.  Maybe it seemed excessive.  Or maybe filling a vehicle with a cloud of blinding smoke at 100 mph caused unforeseen traffic problems.
