NYPD looks to GPS bottles to combat pill bandits
2013-01-16
NEW YORK-- The New York Police Department wants pharmacies in and around the city to fight prescription drug thefts by stocking pill bottles fitted with GPS tracking chips.

Police [want] pharmacies to hide fake pill bottles fitted with GPS devices amid the legitimate supplies on their shelves. The New York Police Department believes the so-called "bait bottles" could help investigators track stolen drugs and locate suspects.
That'll work until the hoods figure it out. Like about the time they read this story. Not to say that we won't ever see it work -- there's a reason why we feature "Today's Idiot" at Rantburg -- but I think the usefulness of GPS in a fake bottle is about blown.

#4  If they buy in bulk it'll only add $7 to $10 to a bottle of meds.
