RE: Michelin rolls out airless tyre
Discussion
regarding the use of stingers to stop the baddy by deflating his tyres no longer being any use, The police have already come up with a new tool to stop the vehicle fitted with these new "Tweel,s" It comprises of a long stick held by the officer as the vehicle goes by he pushes the stick in to the gap between the spokes! If I remember rightly it used to work with push bikes when I was a kid!

I can see the bad guys laughing all the way FROM the bank. Picture the scene of crooks chasing off in your PAJ with loot in boot & a STINGER thrown out in front. Hmmmmm !!!
They have that blanket thats when the car goes over it, it somehow clogs the wheels up and brings it to a nice stop. Think i saw it on Police Stop or some other turd cop show......
So its not impossible to stop the Tweel!!!!

Why not use landmines?
I saw the demonstration video a couple of weeks ago on 'Beyond Tomorrow' or one of those science programs and it looked pretty impressive; it's a fantastic idea in my opinion and is production feasible. My only issue is with potential tread patterns; look at how thin the contact rubber is on it. Granted, I don't know much about tyres, but how deep do treads need to be to be effective? For instance, how does this compare with a conventional tyre at things like directing water out of the tread to prevent aquaplaning etc? Otherwise, I'm definately a fan.

The quad is made by the guys that make the two wheel balancing thing (soory I have completely fogotten the name of it) but they have lots of videos of it on the website and its very cool.
Another new toy the police have is a hand held or grill mounted gun that shoots a gps tracer onto car and then they just work out where its going. The stories in one of the papers.

Doesn't that depend on the cops having a picnic blanket in the boot at the time?? Seriously thou' I think I've seen it too.

So it was YOU!!-Nasty but effective!!-- does that also mean you can attach fag cards etc to rattle on the spokes as they rotate & give you that cheap motor bike noise?? Cool- ahh back to my youth.
