System for assisting with vehicle traffic stops
First Claim
1. A system for assisting with vehicle traffic stops wherein a first vehicle stops a second vehicle, comprising:
- a control system structured to be operative from within the first vehicle; and
an arm assembly structured to be coupled to the first vehicle, the arm assembly including;
a telescoping arm member;
a drive system; and
a remote assembly coupled to a distal end of the arm member, the remote assembly including a number of electronic devices for (i) collecting information at or from a location adjacent the remote assembly and providing the information to the control system and (ii) enabling two-way communication between the first vehicle and the location, wherein the arm member is structured to be selectively elongated and retracted by the drive system under control of the control system.
