The police should have a kill switch which would switch off any car engine they
wanted to, The only downside if it got into the wrong hands (hackers) it might
cause more problems than some websites going down.Comment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostIf firearms would have helped then the police could have used them. There are special units to call on for that, besides which many patrol cars are armed. The fact is, once a helicopter has been deployed there is little chance of escape so the tactic is protect other motorists first. In this case it worked.
