LAPD, kinda, sorta, did this under Chief Gates. I used to listen, on a scanner, to them trailing bad guys with a Bell 47 and 4 cars: one ahead, one behind, and 2 flanking. They would follow the guy for hours until he went to roost. A couple of hours would go by while they secured the warrant. When they showed up, invariably, he'd be gone. They NEVER left anyone behind to make sure that the BG stayed at the location.
They were ordered by a court ruling, after the Rodney King incident, to disband this unit. Great idea poorly executed.
