Automobile chases occasionally end in disaster, killing innocent pedestrians or drivers. To limit the suffering, I propose installing police-activated spike strips that pop out of the pavement, poking holes in the tires of the perpetrators. The strip can be activated and retracted via satellite.

They have moblie stingers virtually everywhere and having them built into the road wouldnt help. Youi would cause many more accidental tire burst to inocent people through accidents than you would stop chases. |

Also, satelite comunication is unreliable on coudy days |
