Do you think if they need to detain someone, they just string him up by the ankles and drag him behind the thing?
Or it has a whip attached to it that will detain someone until the backup arrives. But stringing them up in the air by the ankles is fun, too. Now that would be a sight to see, especially if the hands are tied, too. Hopefully, the criminal doesn't have a fear of heights or he'd be soaked in vomit when they arrived at the police station.
These things aren't powerful enough to get more than a few feet off the ground, so the perp is gonna be one giant, banged up scab.
Can't say I feel sorry for the guy. If s/he commits a crime, s/he should be punished. Whether it's being hoisted up in the air face down using a flying motorbike as they fly to the station, or just being dragged a few feet up, just should be served. I hope they make it ugly and hard for those criminals.
Sadly I doubt it has enough lift to be able to do that. Maybe future models. I do see some advantages of such vehicles, like being able to pass traffic jams or land on top of buildings, with a vehicle small enough to transport in the back of a pickup truck. Like with all new technology, the first production model is going to be overpriced and underwhelming, but I wouldn't be surprised to see vehicles like this one in use by police departments in major cities around the world in a few decades.
