That idea is commendable, but it would be like speed cameras. They don't stop people from speeding - they just take photos.
I'm sure tracking devices will be beneficial to road safety but they'll never make a serious dent in the accident figures IMO. They won't do anything to affect the statistics of accidents caused by joyriders.
