A PIT Maneuver (short for precision immobilization technique) is used by law enforcement to stop a fleeing vehicle. The rear side of the vehicle is “tapped” causing it to spin, often 180 degrees, disorienting the driver and immobilizing the vehicle. Some police agencies are now using vehicles with Grappler bumpers that discharge a net underneath the rear tires of a fleeing vehicle to snare it. That is SO MUCH FUN to watch!
I like this comic so much.
