Next Generation Police Gadgets You Won't Believe
we might not have reached the days of laser guns and freeze Rays just yet but police and military technology has become pretty amazing even so in fact some of the gadgets they use aren't just futuristic they're downright unbelievable so from a car with a built-in web shooter to an automated robot surveillance snake let's take a look at some of the most advanced Next Generation police gadgets that you won't believe exist [Music] thank you door struction if you're trying to catch a criminal off guard loudly breaking down their door probably isn't your best bet I mean it's pretty much impossible to blow something up without making an absolute racket that's why SWAT teams and members of the police force have started using a sneaky little gadget called the homotro door Blaster this clever device can quietly breach through doors without needing any explosives and it works in seconds first the magical Machinery is pressed up against the door in question then because the whole thing is remote operated the operator can step back before hitting a button on the controller as soon as they do compressed air is released from the device activating a system of hydraulics inside the Blaster this generates a tremendous amount of force but will break open the door without any loud explosions handy personally though I don't see the need for any of this high-tech gadgetry just give me a Taco Bell and I'll be blowing down more doors than the Big Bad Wolf off oh geez here comes another one bump them off in the movies everyone loves a good car chase but whilst they make a great cinematic spectacle they're pretty darn dangerous in real life which is where the grappler police bumper comes in the ingenious device works by deploying a nylon net from the front bumper of a police vehicle if the police are in Pursuit and close enough to the back of the car they're chasing the net will wrap itself around the suspect's rear tire stopping it in its tracks [Music] thank you damn the grappler was invented by a man called Leonard stock who magiced up the idea after watching a police pursuit show an innocent motorcyclist had been hit during the Chase and Leonard went to bed that night unsettled over the Injustice he sat awake thinking about solutions to the problem and by 3am that night the idea was fully formed you see most immobilization devices the police use such as spike strips all rely on being able to get in front of the runaway vehicle which is pretty tough and very dangerous when car chases are usually so fast the grappler however allows police to stop the vehicle from behind and creates enough space between both vehicles to prevent any tragic crashes and now it's been used to great success including in Arizona where Leonard comes from so it may look like it's been plugged from your favorite comic book but it's a real-life criminal's worst nightmare foreign hats the covid-19 pandemic brought virtually the whole globe to a standstill even the slightest call from a passerby was enough to bring me out in a cold sweat but Belize in China had a wild trick up their sleeves or rather on their heads to help prevent the virus from spreading they were equipped with high-tech helmets capable of reading the body temperature of anybody up to 16 feet away made by a manufacturer in Shenzhen the helmet was originally designed for facial and number plate recognition yet its most useful feature ended up being its temperature gauge using an infrared camera in combination with augmented reality software it gives the wearer an audible and visual signal when someone within range has an unusually high temperature and they can scan crowds at the rapid rate of up to 200 people a minute so yeah pretty useful in a pandemic when technology is this snazzy though it always comes with a pretty hefty price tag these helmets caused a whopping 6680 each meaning you might want to think twice before promising your coveted conscious grandmother one for Christmas digital doggos robots can be hella creepy I mean have you seen the Terminator so when I saw this four-legged canine robot that's been trialled by the New York Police Department it didn't exactly fill me with joy nicknamed the digidog the electronically powered dog bot was created by American robotics Company Boston Dynamics it can be controlled remotely and has cameras lights and microphones built into its body so police can scope out a potentially dangerous place without putting themselves at risk back in 2020 the NYPD used the dog to assist them with a couple of precarious scenarios including a hostage situation but after footage of the robot hit the internet it went viral and got a ton of backlash instead of being reassured by the automated dog people found it terrifying and were concerned it could be abused and used as an aggressive surveillance tool I get it as well as being a privacy concern if the digidog was ever weaponized the consequences could be dire for everyone I mean what if it got in the wrong hands so the NYPD abruptly stopped using the dogs what do you think though should they be reintroduced to a robotic dog Bots a power nobody should have let me know down in the comments foreign shifting Shield if I asked you to list the coolest gadgets on the planet I bet you wouldn't jump straight to Shields they're pretty basic right wrong there's a new shield in town and it's nothing short of amazing the Swift Shield is a bulletproof guard designed to resolve all of the shortfalls of a traditional Shield it's lightweight Compact and easily transportable all down to an Innovative foldable origami design known as the yashimura crease pattern this allows the shield to fold down small enough to pop straight into the trunk of a police car where it can be whipped out at a moment's notice but it's not just super convenient this thing packs some serious strength made of not one not two but 12 layers of protective Kevlar The Shield can withstand bullets fired at close range and won't even topple over foreign [Music] is the same material used for bulletproof vests as well as being flexible it's tightly woven fibers have a very closely bound molecular structure the insane strength of these molecular bonds means it's extremely hard to pierce the material because you'd need a huge amount of energy to break the bonds apart in fact it's five times stronger than steel this Shield is still in its prototype phase for now but when it's on the market I'm sure it'll be a purchase the whole police force can get behind foreign RoboCop step aside Paul Blart there's a new mall cop in town only this one's significantly less human meet Nimbo the world's first ai-powered security robot the Hat's extra but this little fellow Will Patrol a building scanning for potential threats and security breaches all by itself it just needs somebody to program its route once programmed the bot follows a set path and using the combination of its clever onboard AI cameras sensors and microphones it'll detect any potential criminal activity it comes across once it does it'll approach and blast out audio warnings to try and scare any bad guys off all right what's more it streams footage of the whole encounter to the owner's smartphone pretty neat right although police aren't using it just yet it's not hard to see how incredibly useful this would be for them Nimbo can even be connected to drones so the whole automated security system works from land and air don't get me wrong that's pretty crazy but the best feature has to be the robots ride on mode yep you can clamor onto it like a Segway and ride around like blood himself well my parents always told me to dream big smart slide turns out Marvel films aren't the only thing that inventors are taking inspiration from if you've ever played Halo then this might look familiar it's called the ratatek smart slide and it turns an ordinary handheld firearm into something straight out of Science Fiction you see a pistol is made out of several components one of these is the slide at the top which you guessed it slides back across the gun when it's fired this reduces recoil and loads the next bullet the ratatex smart slide replaces this with a mega high-tech version equipped with a futuristic LED screen like something out of a video game the user can see how many rounds are left in the chamber and whether or not the magazine has been inserted that I saw the mag again some pretty cool it's all possible due to a special sensor that registers the number of cartridges in the magazine and transmits the information to the display as clever as it is though the Nifty Gadget holds a whopping price tag just shy of a thousand dollars ouch as such it's not saying regular police use at the moment but since literally everything is going smart these days I wouldn't be surprised to see law enforcement pick it up soon I mean you can't deny it's a pretty smart idea foreign super spikes we all know why the chicken crossed the road but what about why the remote control flying Road spikes did yeah they're real and they're being used by police across the U.S to stop fleeing vehicles in their tracks They Work similarly to traditional spike strips by puncturing the tires of a criminal's car but unlike traditional spike strips they're not slow and cumbersome to lay across the road nope these ones made by Dyna systems can be flung out at the touch of a remote control all you need to do is set the case at the side of the road and wait for the perfect moment to pull the trigger then once the car is approaching fire away this means that not only are the spikes super fast to set up they're also much harder to spot by any incoming driver but that's not all the creator of the spiky boys Eric Spencer actually came up with the idea as a way to save lives you see laying standard Road spikes is a dangerous business if you're too slow you could be hit in fact over 20 officers have been taken out like this so Spencer said to work coming up with a safer alternative and thus the remote controlled Spike strip was born okay it's actually called the Dyna Spike but that sounds more like a d-list wrestler than a useful police Gadget bozena Beast some people are scared of clowns others are scared of spiders me I'm scared of bozena's security systems huge 20 ton right control system seriously this thing is an absolute Beast it might look like something out of the last Transformers movie but the Colossal machine is very real instead of transforming into a talking robot though it's actually designed to protect police officers from Street Riders and other potential dangers up to 38 officers can shelter behind a huge 24-foot fireproof and bulletproof shield on the front and it can expand and contract too so despite the vehicle size it can fit down all sorts of streets and completely block them off if necessary the barrier can also be raised up to 10 feet in the air allowing officers to move out from underneath like some kind of police Army it's not all barrier and no bite though it also has weapon ports so officers can fire everything from rubber bullets to smoke and gas grenades through them plus it's equipped with all your typical police vehicle features you know flashing lights loudspeakers and cameras even if a crowd of people somehow managed to get past all of that it can still easily withstand the pressure from over 100 rioters pushing against it so yeah it's pretty indestructible nonetheless this seems like a pretty aggressive solution to crowd control to me I mean it's literally designed so that police can shoot gas and bulldoze people out of the way what do you think is it the perfect answer to Violent Street riots or step too far foreign all right we've covered some pretty much of gadgets now but sometimes the best things come in small packages or at least that's when I told my ex anyway the Recon throwback 2 is a micro robot barely eight inches long but it's strong enough to withstand repeated drops from up to 30 feet high in fact as its name suggests it was designed to be thrown it's not some kind of over engineered yo-yo though made for the military the throwbot can be tossed into a potentially hazardous area where it uses built-in cameras and microphones to capture instant video and audio this is streamed over to a remote control held by the operator and helps soldiers make an informed decision on their next move and some models can even be programmed to explode creating a sneaky distraction despite its size the throwbot can easily drive over a variety of different terrains and clear all kinds of obstacles plus it can film in complete darkness and is water and dust resistant too so virtually nothing phases this thing maybe if iPhones were as durable I wouldn't be on my ninth already ah damn it EXO land sadly Iron Man isn't real but his suit on the other hand that technology really exists or at least almost this is the Onyx exoskeleton aka the police and military uniform of the future it won't make you fly but this wearable high-tech outer skeleton will turn you into a superhuman beast that's because it provides major support to the user's knees and lower body muscles meaning you won't get tired anywhere near as quickly and any physical task is made much easier and safer too imagine having to jump over a tall fence whilst chasing a speedy suspect or carrying heavy supplies up a mountain sounds exhausting right well not with this bad boy on but how does it actually work well the pseudo super suit has special sensors at the feet knees and hips which collect data from the user's movements and send it to a control module on the waist using this info artificial intelligence can predict the user's next movements and react accordingly so if the AI detects that you're about to raise your knee and activates Motors in that area which move the exoskeleton to automatically assist you crazy and the technology has piqued the interest of military organizations all over the globe in July 2020 the U.S marine started using a different kind of exoskeleton the sarcos Guardian EXO to help them lift and transport weighty loads after seeing the commercial though it feels like it's being advertised as an actual super suit [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] wow I have no words I can't send you a super suit but I can deliver you some super content so head on down and hit those like And subscribe buttons and you'll never miss out on another amazing video again alright back to business foreign Behavior did you know that if some species of worms are cut in half they don't die in fact both halves can regenerate into two fully functioning worms while scientists have created a futuristic robot with this very Concept in mind meet the snakebot just like a worm if you chop it in half it'll still function say what it's all down to that chain-like body you see the snake bot is made up of a number of independently operating links which form a long chain giving it its snake-like appearance because these links don't depend on one another to function if any one part of the chain is destroyed the robot can continue to operate okay cool but what is it actually used for well technically it's not being used in the field for anything right now but if a camera was built into it its design makes it perfect for covert surveillance in the future the thin Slinky snakebot can maneuver through tight spaces climb over objects and even Slither up trees so let's say a soldier needs a panoramic view to scout an area or maybe a police officer needs to check out a multi-story building with potentially dangerous people inside the snakebot would be perfect just set it down and use a remote control to maneuver it into position variants of the snake butter even being developed with artificial intelligence so they won't need human input to move at all geez I really want to see one of these things pitted against one of those dog Bots now bugged bugs it's one thing modeling a gadget off of a snake but researchers in Singapore have taken it one step further they're developing actual Cyborg beetles that is real insects that can be remotely controlled from afar yeah seriously scientists have mounted tiny battery-powered backpacks on their backs and implanted electrodes into their flight muscles these allow small electric pulses to be administered to the corresponding muscles making them contract and steer the bugs left or right they can even control the speed of the bug by upping the frequency of the pulses whoa pretty insane right nanyang Technological University has successfully pulled off several experiments like this electrically controlling the insects with a remote and over in Washington they've even been equipped with minuscule cameras to record anything they come across while for now the footage from such a tiny camera is poor at best wants to say it won't be much higher quality in the future something is Tiny and inconspicuous as a beetle could do a pretty amazing job at spying on people so while we can safely say that the police aren't sending beetles into our homes anytime soon I'm still going to be freaking out even more than normal if one flies in through my window foreign badass barriers compared to the other gadgets I've mentioned you might think this thing looks pretty well boring but oh boy you'd be wrong it's called a modular vehicle barrier and despite that humble design it's seriously impressive this lightweight portable barrier is less than three feet tall and weighs just 52 pounds that's lighter than some breeds of dog yet incredibly it can stop eight ton trucks dead in their tracks at least if they're traveling close to 20 miles per hour a truck of that size is a whopping 307 times the barrier's weight and the craziest part the barrier doesn't destroy the vehicle or overturn it meaning the driver won't be seriously harmed but how can something so lightweight stop something so heavy well that's all down to its unique design the magic lies in the L shape of the barrier when a vehicle crashes into it the momentum is turned down into the ground where it has nowhere to go and is almost completely absorbed genius it's not the only barrier on the block though another that deserves a shout out is the healed ht1 Raptor system these guys are retractable at the push of a button and they can stop an eight-ton truck even if it's traveling at a blistering 50 miles per hour whoa the company behind their design are pretty secretive about what makes them so damn tough but apparently it's due to some seriously heavy duty internal sheet steel reinforcement whilst the bollards themselves will remain unscathed though the same definitely can't be set for any car that drives into them foreign mobile although we're still a ways off inventing James Bond's invisible surfing car we do have the insane technology needed for the subsea craft Victor the world's first speedboat and submarine hybrid this amazing piece of Kit allows Special Forces to speed along the surface of any River or ocean before completely submerging under the water and covertly traveling to enemy Shores complete with a diesel-powered engine and Powerful water jets whilst in its boat form it can Race Across the water at almost 50 miles per hour it's made out of super tough carbon fiber too so it can withstand a beating but a special foam core keeps it light when you're ready to submerge all you need to do is press a button and you'll be underwater in just two minutes to achieve this feat the Victor completely floods its cabin effectively Sinking The Vessel therefore anyone inside has to wear diving gear they don't breathe with their personal tanks though they're for emergencies instead the Victa has its own build built-in Air Supply to plug into which has enough air to keep eight people going for four hours this is more than enough time considering there's only enough fuel to propel the vehicle 30 miles once submerged although the Victor is still in the development stage at the time of this video's release the first prototype was tested back in 2021 and it's highly likely to be used by militaries of the future with an astronomical price tag of 11 million dollars though I'll have to wait until my big lottery win before I can Coast around the ocean pretending to be 007. okay that's about all we have time for today folks which one of those crazy gadgets were you most impressed by let me know down in the comments below and thanks for watching [Music]
