Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tire disabling device. A tire disabling device may comprise a spike-bearing plate that may be contained, in its undeployed state, in a handled enclosure. Upon deployment, the spike bearing plate may be disposed under the tire of a stopped vehicle, which may puncture the tire if the vehicle is moved. Such a device may be beneficial in preventing car chases that begin with traffic stops, by deflating tires upon an attempted evasion from the stop, and by signaling a deterrent to attempt such evasion.
