Interesting.
Indeed.
Not sure I would be crazy enough to deploy something like that. Seems you need to be extremely close to someone nuts enough to run from the popo who knows what evasive maneuver they may attempt while this thing is being deployed. Just seems dangerous for the officer having to deploy it.
Looks safer than performing a pit maneuver.
Idk. Maybe. What happens if as the officer is setting up the device and the criminal stomps the break? In a pit at least the officers vehicle isn't directly behind the vehicle. I suppose there is no "good option". Either way I'm glad it won't be me doing either maneuver.
If the BG stomps the break he gets rear ended.
Now what happens if setting up a pit and the BG stomps the break and jerks the wheel towards the officer? Same outcome the officer gets into a crash "maybe runs off the road into a bayou, house, child, light pole, etc....
