ABSTRACT:
A device for remotely disabling a vehicle by deflation of the vehicle's tires is provided. The device is mounted on an underside of a law enforcement agent's chase vehicle. A laser light in the device indicates to the agent where a projectile expelled by the device will pass. The device is operated by directing the laser light at an underside of a chased vehicle and causing the device to expel the projectile. When the projectile is so expelled, it extends numerous spikes which destroy and deflate the chased vehicle's tires, thereby disabling the chased vehicle and preventing harm to innocent bystanders.
