Cool new device may end police pursuits. This reminds me of James Bond cars.

Tracking device seems like it would be pretty easy to remove and discard

Pretty good deal. Way too pricey right now, but when technology advances, the price tends to go down. I can see this being very helpful in years to come.

Ahh, but you have to STOP to do so. I don't imagine the LEOs just let the vehicles go and park at a Doughnut Shop. They probably stay within a minute of where the vehicle is being tracked.

Cool idea, hope it gets cheap and becomes more implemented.

LEO, a acronym mostly used by wannbes on forums as short for Law Enforcement Officer and used incorrectly because in some places, animal control are "LEO"s as are park rangers, railroad inspectors, tax collectors and so on.

FBI agents are "LEO"s, see any of them writing tickets? The acronym LEO is a broad brush attribute often used inappropriately. For some reason, there is a reluctance to use the common "cop" term because it doesn't sound like you're "in".

Ever hear a police officer describe themselves or others as "LEO"s? What you'll usually hear is "I'm a cop" or "police officer".

I'm the LEO at my house! Well... when my wife tells me I can be.

All the time. It's the generally used term on officer.com or similar law enforcement officer social media websites.

You rarely here the term in person because it's just not used outside of Internet lingo. Similarly you never hear people say OP or LOL or QFT or shens.

Yeah, I just enjoy lampooning the use of such a pompous and officious term as "law enforcement officer" instead of the simple and forthright "cop". Almost as bad is "correctional officer" rather than "jailer". And as you say, the term isn't as precise as cop or policeman (or woman).
