Yep, to deal with the increasing crime of Moped riding thieves, the British police have a new tactic...ram them with their cars........
Any problem with this tactic here in the U.S?

Tougher tactics have led to 36% fall in thefts involving mopeds in London

Police in London say tough tactics used against suspected violent thieves on mopeds, including chasing them and knocking them off their bikes, have helped reduce crime.
The Metropolitan police said there had been a 36% reduction in thefts that involved mopeds or scooters since the tactics were adopted last year.
These include providing officers with a special marking spray to fire at suspects, using remote-controlled spikes to burst the tyres of bikes, and using police cars to knock suspects off their bikes.
