Is it illegal for traffic police to use tire shredders?

What is a tire breaker? A tire breaker, also known as a road stab barrier, a barbed barricade, etc., is a tire-breaking type roadblock driven by a hydraulic power device and controlled remotely or by wire. The barbs of the road stab barrier are relatively sharp. After a vehicle tire runs over it, it will be punctured within 0.5 seconds and the gas in the tire will be vented through the vent hole, causing the vehicle to be unable to move forward. Therefore, it is a necessary anti-terrorism roadblock in some key security locations. So, is it legal for traffic police to use tire breaker?

The tire breaker is a kind of police equipment, and its use is also subject to very strict regulations. Generally, traffic police will set up tire breaker on the road when there is a robbery, murder or major traffic accident, and vehicles escape and endanger public safety. This roadblock is normally closed when in operation, that is, it is in a raised state during security operations, preventing any vehicle from passing. When the vehicle that can be released wants to pass, the road thorns can be dropped by manual control of the security personnel, and the vehicle can pass safely. However, if the traffic police set up tire breaker to prevent highway toll evasion, there is no legal basis. The editor of Xiamen Jietian Technology Co., Ltd. will take you to see the relevant legal provisions: Article 69 of the "Road Traffic Law" stipulates: No unit or individual shall intercept and inspect vehicles on the highway, except for the people's police of the public security organs who perform emergency duties in accordance with the law. Article 9 of the "Highway Regulations" stipulates: Highway road administration agencies and traffic patrol police agencies shall strengthen patrols to ensure the safety and smooth flow of highways. Except for the people's police of the public security organs who perform emergency duties in accordance with the law, no unit or individual shall intercept and inspect vehicles on the highway. It can be seen that it is inappropriate to use a tire breaker to recover the evaded fee.
From the above statement, it can be confirmed that traffic police can use tire breaker, but they must use it according to relevant regulations!
