When The Police Have Pulled Someone Over...
Posted on 1/10/26 at 8:32 am

Why don't they place something near or around the wheel that would either disable the car, disable the tire (netting / wire) or puncture the tire (spikes) if the driver tries to flee as soon as they walk up to the vehicle?
It wouldn't have to be much to really put a crimp in these a-holes trying to flee or start a high speed chase.
A handful of these would do the trick. Pick them back up with a magnet. What's the downside?

Good idea, but if that was the norm, the ones that plan on running probably wouldn't pull over to begin with.
On second thought, I guess it would help with drunks who decide to run last minute.

I’ve never had a bad interaction with law enforcement, but if I got pulled over and a “cop” walks up to my car carrying some shite like that, I’m assuming he’s a serial killer dressed up like a cop and I’m fricking gone, calling 911, and asking them to have someone meet me at the nearest police station if this is legit.

The idiots would still try to flee because they’re idiots.

Serious question, would that be legal/constitutional in a technical sense?
In my mind, that sounds like you’ve been detained…would cops need to read you your rights before they do something like that?

You’re already detained during a traffic stop, as you aren’t free to terminate the interaction. Constructive detention is more relevant in a situation in which someone isn’t complying.

I mean, anyone pulled over is technically detained. You can't just leave.

Gonna spitball here and say because not everytime you are pulled over are you officially “detained” under the law. Many times the officer is conducting an investigation to determine if he/she has probable cause to detain you.
Automatically immobilizing each vehicle would likely be deemed an unconstitutional detainment.
Now, as to situations when officers have determined someone is detained I’m not sure I have any answer except that maybe the priority at that time is maintaining focus on the suspect and trying to immobilize a vehicle could place officers in vulnerable spot.
Again, these are just off the cuff thoughts of a man enjoying his coffee and his thoughts first thing in the morning

That makes sense, so really no difference between the act of pulling someone over and physically preventing them from driving away.
Guess now that I’m thinking about it, it’s no different than a cop blocking your car with his.

I don’t like the idea simply because many people are going to feel “boxed in” but they aren’t detained but are they? Haha
I almost feel like if you have the right to lie to me I should at least get a chance to run before you chase me.
That’s just me. I have a fricked up way of thinking, I’m working on it.

As long as you follow the command to stop, you’ve been detained. Constructive detention comes up in “throw away” cases in which the person isn’t following commands but is functionally detained due to presence and position of law enforcement.

I watch a lot of dash cam videos. Sometimes they do.
They are called Stingers. I see them use them a lot. They work but people can drive for a while on one flat tire. Hell they have videos of people doing 80 on rims.

They'd forget to pick them up and you'd have those all over the roadways.

Concern for the safety of the general public on the road if they drive off in an unsafe vehicle and lose control.

The ideal to me would be a steel netting in a Christmas gift sized box that would deploy once driven over and quickly wrap tighter and tighter around the wheels and transmission to stop them within a few yards. Or a similar sized contraption that would disrupt the electrical system.
With today's technology you would think it shouldn't be too hard.

Just what the cops need, another tool belt to carry screws to throw at a moving vehicle.
Your plan is genius!!

No, they only have to read you your rights when you’ve been arrested or there’s questioning involved.

Maybe chocks (like the ones they use for aircraft) might be a better solution.
Easier to remember to pull them before you let someone go and they won’t accidentally damage someone’s tires if the cop does forget.
