“The European Union is secretly developing a ‘remote stopping’ device to be fitted to all cars that would allow the police to disable vehicles at the flick of a switch from a control room. Confidential documents from a committee of senior EU police officers, who hold their meetings in secret, have set out a plan entitled ‘remote stopping vehicles’ as part of wider law enforcement surveillance and tracking measures. The devices, which could be in all new cars by the end of the decade, would be activated by a police officer working from a computer screen in a central headquarters. The engine of a car used by a fugitive or other suspect would stop, the supply of fuel would be cut and the ignition switched off.”
