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 project will work on a technological solution that can be a 'build in
standard' for all cars that enter the European market," said a restricted
document.
