That would 100% be a bad shoot.

By this logic, one isn’t incarcerated behind bars unless they actually try to leave the cell.

Wouldn’t these also flatten the cops tires ….
….if there was a need to follow?

Do Terry stops count for vehicles as well? I have bad experiences with those in GA (well, ATL) about Terry stops for clearly non-illegal behavior because of MWAG calls. I guess "we need to check your tint" etc., would suffice in those jurisdictions. GA GFL laws permitted open carry, but that became probable cause for getting dropped at Boston Market while ordering food in the wrong part of ATL.
I agree, (IANAL) it is different if there is an outstanding warrant or active pursuit. I've just seen DeKalb, Fulton, and similar metro PDs really, really bend the standards to inconvenience law abiding citizens. (11 and 1/2 months to get a GCL in a 90 day shall issue state veteran, and I only got it that fast thanks to dogged perseverance encouraged by GA Packing, a fantastic group.)
Texas was fantastic in comparison. When I knew I was moving almost 20y ago, I called TX DPS. In most other states, it's very strict on when your CHL from another state is valid or not, and in some cases it becomes invalid as soon as you get another DL (changing residence.) TX assured me in 2008 , as long as it's still valid, just get one with us before it expires. Clarity is excellent.
Am I being detained, or am I free to go?

people can drive for a while on one flat tire. Hell they have videos of people doing 80 on rims.
It saves on tire wear and gas.

Seems like overkill. Juice cant be worth the squeeze. I'd imagine out of all traffic stops less than 1% flee after stopping.

Caltrops?
Perhaps they could just use an impact to take the lugs out of one wheel

Most cops in the south would struggle to bend over to retrieve the devices?

Sgt of mine used to carry a small wedge of a spike strip that he would drop in front of a suspicious car's rear tire as he approached it.

Those spikes have been used in the past.
Posted on 1/12/26 at 8:00 am to Mizz-SEC
Because then we wouldn't have all these car chase videos

You're pulled over on the side of the road. Something dangerous could easily happen that would require you to move your vehicle to save your life (e.g., another bad driver). A cop disabling your vehicle while pulling it over is a terrible idea and a catalyst for much litigation.

In my mind, that sounds like you’ve been detained
You’re detained when the cop pulls you over. You are not free to leave. If the cop puts a spike strip in front of your car or if another cop comes and blocks you in with his cop car that’s perfectly legal.

Don't be a dumbass= you live.
Someone who thought she lived in a free country? Being a dumbass and running your mouth is supposed to equal you live anyway.
The fact that we have government agents whose job it is to go around the country masked and armed confronting people who clearly don't want them around is such an embarrassment to what America is supposed to be.

Do you own a tire business?

Two reasons… all about officer safety
1- placing something like that is provocative and psychologically escalating, so stay away from it
2- anything to divert the officers eyes and attention off of the driver or other occupants of the vehicle is a massive danger point for the officer.
So two massive reasons it’s bad idea.

Hard to believe people like you actually exist.

watch enough of the Sov Cit stops and you'll see them used occasionally.
it's pretty obvious when one is pulled over what the deal is gonna be from the get go.
I doubt they're used on run of the mill moving violations.
