I believe this is a factual event, but this is on the internet.
A harpoon might work?
I have read of attempts of using RF to shut down the engine : RF Safe-Stop shuts down car engines with radio pulse https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-25197786
This is wild and more so if they are shooting at the cops while being grabbed.

Back on Thunder Road, Lucas Doolin had a quick release on his bumper, so that when the Revenuers latched onto him, he just pulled the cable, leaving them only with his bumper.

The AZ DPS is a great LEO agency.

Had never heard of this harpoon method before, pretty effective.
As far as the perp goes, guilty and guilty!

better demo of how it works.
looks like probably less damage to a police vehicle than a pit maneuver.
but if equipped cops will start using them unnecessarily just like they do tasers.
I am sure this does nothing good to the grappled car.
At a minimum it will rip the brake line apart

Even with the cop right next to her she kept on harassing the other car! She must have been on LSD or something similar.

Very cool. First time I learned about the grabber. Sadly, that slick tool would end the most watched shows on Los Angeles tv news stations where car chases can run for two hours with massive viewers.
