On I-16 near where I'm going to school, they have like those train track crossing kinda gates on a bunch of the exits/entrances. Not sure if they're supposed to be used for chases or what.




You need to watch WORLD'S WILDEST POLICE VIDEOS a little more. They show the use of spike strips and the PIT alot on that show. You will see that the spikes usually blow the tires out. I saw one the other day where the tires blew with the spikes and immediately flew off the truck at the cops.
By the way, the show is on Spike TV(the former TNN) at 7pm EST Monday through Friday. Check it out, it shows you exactly what the cops have to deal with.
