Police sometimes use "bait cars" to catch car prowlers, but the captured criminals are often only charged with attempted grand larceny or something, and many don't even get jail time - they get probation.
However, what if police fielded some normal-looking but armored cars, sent them to the ghetto, and just had people sit in them looking at their fancy phones and stuff? Once someone attempts a carjacking and produces a firearm, other officers hidden inside the vehicle can open fire via firing ports built into the car's armor.
That eliminates the need for a trial, and the car's recording systems will verify that deadly force was justified.
This seems like a good way to take some violent criminals off the streets once and for all.
