What are Spike strips?

There are few things that police do not like more than high -speed persecution. They are aware of the dangers associated with innocent passers -by, objects of persecution and themselves. They are therefore looking for the fastest and safest method that is available for deactivating and stopping the perpetrator. The device is also known as Stingers or Stop Sticks® and is a belt of sharp spikes, laid horizontally across the highways that are designed to blow all four fast vehicle tires. Spike strips are highly efficient and found to cause the least amount of damage to possible persons and property. They are created in such a way as to avoid large accidents. If the spikes were made of steel or some other solid material, they would cause tires to throw away. At high speeds, more tires would have fallen to an accident with a good possibility of serious injury or loss of life. Persecution can take a little longer as the vehicle will be mOCI travel for a short distance before the tires are completely flat. However, hollow tips significantly reduce the chances of human injury.

Spike strips have different uses than fast stopping the vehicle during high -speed persecution. They can also be used as a operation control method. Some stripes of tips are designed with hinges. The vehicle is driven in one direction without damaging the tires and the spines are simply folded flat. However, the vehicle is not able to back up because the tips plunged back to their normal angle. If they try, the tires will be pierced and flattened.

one -way stripes of the tips were used in areas where the operation with one direction is mandatory. Sometimes they will be seen in parking garages or buildings that require a certain degree of first -line security.

However, the most common use of the tip of the tip occurs during high -speed persecution. Normally, the spikes are attached to a lightweight flat strip of material such as nylon. There is a long cord at one end. After the vehicle passes through the belt, the officer for enforcement simply pulls the belt out of the highway and avoids unintentional damage to other vehicles.
