How about you just stop doing car chases and endangering everyone?
During a pursuit in West Memphis, Arkansas, a state trooper attempted a tactical vehicle immobilization technique known as a PIT maneuver twice in attempts to stop a fleeing Tesla Model Y, but both times the vehicle accelerated out of reach and was only stopped after driving over a tire-deflation device.
Yeah, great idea, pushing a car into a spin while at high speed could never go wrong. Turns out just calling ahead and blocking the road is the thing that actually works.
Seems like these chases are the very definition of ones you need to call off before someone gets killed. If a car is out-accelerating an already fast police car, you’re already endangering everyone around
That would probably work for small offenses like speeding, but not for larger crimes like a jewelry heist or something. You'd still have to chase them down in that case, no?
Speed limiters on commercial trucks already exist. They could be applied to private cars too. Not sure why, on public roads, there is much of a reason to drive 100 miles per hour. Many cars can go beyond that.
I agree about a remote kill switch. That has too high a potential to be abused. A limiter though, one that was fixed and not variable based on anything, would be fine I think.
if that was the law how would you enforce it in any meaningful way? People would overide/not have them.
Well we'd just force them! How!!?! Mechanically minded people mod cars everyday. Then police would have more reason to F with everyone at their pleasure. You would for sure need more surveillance from the state. Probably need more expensive proprietary anti-consumer tech inside the car you own.
Do you know why I pulled you over? Your car transponder isn't transmitting properly.
