editlast article and link perhaps some kind of advertisement?
- Please remember to sign your entries with four tildes(~). As far as the Stinger, I don't think its an advertisement, as there are several types of spike strips, but the brand name "Stinger" is most known to the public via television and ad campaigns. 68.254.188.148 20:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Could use some information on when and where were first implemented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.100.170 (talk) 20:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Police Officer Death Statistics
editThe article states (from an uncited source) that "as many as 20 or more" police officers have died deploying the devices, which would seem a particularly unhelpful means of numbering as it could concieveably be any number! Does anyone know where the figures came from? Jellyfish dave (talk) 17:15, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

editThe Illustrated London Times 1 Sept 1928 shows "a new trap for motor-car bandits: spiked 'mats' across the road for puncturing tires". Marshape (talk) 12:23, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
