I wondered how it worked:

How it works starts with a net that's lowered In front of the police vehicle with the touch of a button. Then when the net contacts the tire, it's pulled over the axel, stopping the vehicle in its' tracks. "Typically within 5 or 6 seconds, you can immobilize a vehicle."

snip

Amazing!

On another topic, I'm sure police were thrilled with the opportunity to use their technology.

I have always wanted to have an EMP device so that when I encounter drivers that are as bad as I am, I could flip a switch and disable their ignition system.

I get they had to stop the woman but that looks like the cops put even themselves in real danger.

The other car had a Biden bumper sticker and I was standing my ground! They should have charged her with DWI; Driving While Insane.

an aggressive driver who suddenly pulled ahead of me in the other lane, suddenly switched lanes (to be directly in front of my car), and suddenly applied her brakes (no red light, no STOP sign, no car in front of her), to make me rear-end her car. Fortunately I could stop in time. The look of sheer hostility on her face can't be described.
