Not politically correct, Mark. These motor-nicking scrotes are deprived youngsters in need of counselling don't ya know?

I had wondered about that, how difficult would it be to have radar controlled guns to shoot out rear tyres ?. Electronics is moving at a phenomenal rate and to design a system to fire a metal projectile 20 feet at high speed ( linear motor ?) does not look too difficult.

I suspect if the hypothetical device to disable a car's ECU existed it wouldn't be very politically correct either. 

Car electronics is much more robust than most consumer electronics as it's designed to live in an electrically hostile environment and perform, to some extent, a safety critical role. To generate an electrical event powerful enough to disable a car you'd also knock out every mobile phone, i-whatever, TV, PC for miles around not to mention half the radios and other kit carried in the police car itself. It'd be a bit of a liability, I reckon.

talking of films and techno, which sometimes the ideas are in the pipeline... with current satnav installs in new vehicles, i dont think it will be long before speeding is impossible and at the will of the authorities, total shut down of a vehicle.

Large firearms. RPG. Artillery.

Eradicate the arseholes from the gene pool.

Get a big gun which fires a huge net!   Get close enough, fire the net over the car and it entangles itself in the wheels and stops the car......bonus point, they also can't get out and run

Then use a taser to "calm" them down
