Why is it so hard to stop police chases?

488 views

Why aren’t there very many effective methods outside of spike strips to stop a suspects vehicle in a police chase? What about an EMP?

Edit: I should clarify that I mean stop a police chase safely without any risk of serious bodily injury or death.

Cars are pretty damn robust. Making one stop working from afar is difficult. The weakest parts of a car are the tires and the driver. Everything else flimsy is encased within a big metal box at the front.

Light is a pretty weak thing. Enough of any kind of radiation to damage a car will also damage anything else. Collateral damage out the ass. That includes any sort of EMP.
