Good point...perhaps pursuit vehicles with guided missile launchers
would help.....

It's my opinion that anyone who tries to elude the police in a
high-speed pursuit ought to have deadly force used against them at the
earliest possible moment consistent with public safety.   Such people
have clearly no regard for the safety of others and place them in
grave danger of death and/or serious bodily injury, and that is all
that's required to authorize the use of deadly force.

I think "road mines" instead of "road fangs" would be
appropriate....or a cop by the side of the road with a LAW rocket.

Regards,

Scott Weiser
