High-speed chase ends when OnStar halts stolen SUV

Stop thief: California carjacking suspect nabbed after GM's OnStar halts fleeing SUV

    • (AP) -- When two Visalia, Calif., police officers swung their cruisers behind a sport utility vehicle that had been carjacked at gunpoint early Sunday, they prepared for a dangerous high-speed chase.

The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe roared away with officers in pursuit, but shortly after the suspect made a right turn, operators at General Motors Co.'s OnStar service sent a command that electronically disabled the gas pedal and the SUV gradually came to a halt.

The flustered thief got out and ran, but was quickly nabbed after he climbed several fences and fell into a backyard swimming pool, police said.

When President Obama was informed of this he immediately ordered all automobile registration offices to record Party affiliation when registering cars. When told the Federal Obama Government had no authority to dictate to State DMVs he replied "and the States have no authority to require the Federal Obama Government to maintain highways and bridges in their State either,  do they"  And Rahm said "What about Texas? They won't bend. And the Great O replied "Who needs Texas. If Texas drops out we still have 56 left, don't we?"
