That's pretty cool. Seems dangerous for the officer though. I wonder if something like that would haves saved Latoya Finnicum?

Pretty interesting. Is it actually in use in any areas? and what have the results been in actual cases, not stimulated?

I have no clue if it's on the market just yet. I sure hope that if/when it does it's affordable. That's been a problem in the past where something hits the market and no one can afford to buy enough to outfit a fleet. Even the small departments have a problem justifying expensive things in their budget.

My guess is this would be implemented in a pursuit driving training course and to lessen operator error.

Looks like it would be safer for both sides then a PIT manuever

I guess it would not work if the police vehicle was smaller that what they were trying to stop.

Nice idea. I wish I'd have thought of it.
