<p>A vehicular disablement method and apparatus, wherein police can identify and stop a vehicle which is attempting to flee from a traffic stop. The apparatus includes an interrogator system located in a law enforcement vehicle and a responder system located in a target vehicle. An interrogation signal is sent to vehicles in the proximate area and the responder system on each vehicle verifies the interrogator signal and then responds with vehicular information stored in the responder system. The interrogation system displays the responding vehicles in the area, or only those selected by the officer, and the law enforcement user selects vehicles for disablement. Multiple vehicles may be stopped at the same time. The responder system includes disablement circuitry connected to the vehicle systems. A disablement command is sent which is acted upon and a confirmation reply is sent by the disabled target vehicle. Any vehicle disabled may be remotely restarted immediately via a subsequent interrogator command.</p> |
