I remember seeing videos from the inventor of "the grappler" years ago. He was going through various designs, trying them out and showing their applications.

Good to see that he not only perfected the device but that departments have been using them and they work! Good stuff.

[@mrdavman13]

I remember seeing them in Cops or Live PD awhile back. Then they disappeared and now I’ve seen them a lot more often. It was cool thinking I probably saw some very early prototypes, even then they worked really good.

[@christopherjones8448]

I was super skeptical that these things would actually work as intended and not just A: Get ripped off by the force of a wheel moving a several ton vehicle in the tipple digits of mphs, or B: cause both cars to inevitably crash as the panicked suspect wiped the wheel desperate to escape.

[@bolbyballinger]

@@christopherjones8448 Results might vary depending on what kind of car gets grappled. Pretty much everything on the road is a front wheel drive. So the rear tires don't have anything other than their momentum to rip off the grappler with. A rear wheel drive might be more problematic since it actually has power going through it and so can better sustain its motion. The rear wheels not having any power is also why the car doesn't stop too suddenly. As for the controllability pretty much every car ever made only uses the front wheels to turn. So while it is now applying more friction from being stopped, the grappled tire is still at least pointing the right way. It'll cause some steering issues, but nothing sudden or disastrous. If a car steers with its rear wheels and has one get grappled THEN you might have a problem. But those are pretty rare. And of course at the end of the day this is the alternative to the pit maneuver. And it's kind of hard to get less controlled and more crashy than a technique that literally revolves around crashing into a car to make it lose control.

[@RavoFoxx]

The reasons why these are mostly in Arizona are probably because the Phoenix PD are one of the only four departments in the entire country to use the grappler according to the manufacturer's website. It's also made locally in Phoenix, so that is likely a big factor too.

The fact a roofer by the name of Leonard Stock invented the grappler device to safely end police chases, thanks to a dream he had as a result of watching a chase that ended with an innocent person being T-boned is amazing. Shows you never know from where or by who the next great idea is going to come from. It's not always university graduates or people working in MIT that come up with cool invention ideas. I hope the Grappler becomes commonplace with all police services in the States and ends up getting sold around the world - we here in the UK could certainly use such a device to end pursuits safely!

[@camerannicephore5262]

As a lifetime arizona resident, I actually have an explanation for you as to why all those grapple videos are coming out of AZ. Arizona and especially Phoenix have very well designed and extensive highway and freeway systems that cover the whole city and state. They're also not usually that busy. Only 1 main highway typically gets backed up around the 9/5 rush. As such, it's really easy to get your car up to 140 on the highway and just cruise around the whole city. Makes it a speeders paradise. To this point, the department that specifically deals in stuff like catching speeders and vehicles in az gets a HUGE budget. Able to afford super cars and make them undercover cop cars, same with electrical utility vehicles and even a hearse. The grapple is something that's realities cheap with just how effective it is, so they're encouraged to use them and are attached to most pursuit cars. So tldr. Arizona has a lot of highways and speeders, so the police get more opportunity to use the grapple since it's super effective

I agree with what you said, the speeding has really gotten out of hand the last few years man. People drive like they don't care if they live or die around here.

Donut saying “grapples!” just brings a smile to my face

[@mrmiscast]

Thanks Donut for this video containing The Grappler. I've tried multiple times to get Harris County and the City of Houston to start installing some of these things. Instead they just changed the pursuit rules... Which does nothing but tell some criminals if you run long enough they will stop chasing you.

[@tu6202]

Donut, the grappler was invented by a guy in the Phoenix area. He used AZDPS (Sate Troopers) and a couple PD's near him to help test and use the device. You don't see many AZDPS cars without them now. They work incredibly well and are starting to be utilized in other places now.

[@kingkru007]

That is interesting all this time I thought I saw it first on Top Gear by Hammond. Really glad it is being put to good use. Going to look more into the history of it.

[@noska6877]

holy shit, that was one of the craziest, fastest ending pursuits ive ever seen, and it ended right outside lucas oil stadium. these videos are already insane but seeing it happen at a place im so familiar with adds a whole new level to it.

[@Vulpine407]

I remember the development of an EMP device that LEOs could use to short out the electronic ignitions of cars they were pursuing. Never did see wide scale deployment. But I think the grappler is better anyway. The EMP only stops the target's engine. The grappler stops the entire vehicle in a short distance. Plus, it keeps it tethered to the LEO's vehicle, thus allowing the officers to prevent it from making much in the way of maneuvers in the last seconds. This video shows that aspect of the device very well.

[@lsswappedcessna]

and if the vehicle is something with points ignition and mechanical fuel delivery rather than electronic, the EMP wouldn't work in the first place. All they'd be doing with that EMP against anything from the mid 80s and before is frying the radio.

[@BluegrassKnight]

That "Grappler" is a very cool, relatively low-tech, low-cost device, that appears to be much safer than other techniques, like the P.I.T. maneuver! Not only does it make it safer for everyone involved, especially civilians, but the police are kept safer. With this new device they only have to hit the suspect's tire and slam on the brakes, to completely immobilize the vehicle. Instead of trying to match speeds and perform a potentially dangerous maneuver, that could send both vehicles out of control and in danger others! This will make police far more effective during pursuits and keeping the bad guy from getting away!

[@Soluscide]

But they do have to go faster than the suspect to catch up to them. The vehicle can also still lose control but it's slightly more controlled with the grappler.

[@BonusHole]

In Britain we use a 'Stinger'. Basically a line of spikes laid across the road that simply punctures the wheels of the getaway vehicle and brings it to a slow gradual stop.

[@MrsWarriorRed33med]

​@BonusHole yes. We have that as well.

[@kudzukid12]

⁠​⁠@@BonusHolewe have those too but you have to be ahead of the chase to deploy them and hope the suspect keeps on the same route you laid the spikes on.

I was 40 yrs old at the time & could not believe how many times I was asked to pull over or just had my DL checked. Good thing, too. I didn't know the car was sold to me with fictitious tags or had been involved in a drug bust about a year before I bought it. Prior to that, I drove a '91 Ford (Mazda) Probe in WA state the very year they became the #1 targeted vehicles for theft. I learned THAT little bit of trivia from the Officer that gave me the report to fill out when it got stolen...
