This video is a full compilation of some of the most precise, controlled, and clean PIT maneuvers caught on camera across the United States. A PIT maneuver, or Precision Immobilization Technique, is a tactic used by law enforcement during vehicle pursuits. An officer makes intentional contact with the fleeing vehicle’s rear quarter-panel using the front bumper, causing the suspect’s car to spin and come to a controlled stop. When performed correctly, it brings dangerous high-speed chases to an end quickly and as safely as possible.

We start in Volusia County, Florida, where Sheriff Mike Chitwood demonstrates a textbook PIT maneuver that shuts down a pursuit in seconds. The suspect, 24-year-old Christian Ottinot, was taken into custody and charged with fleeing from law enforcement, reckless driving, Florida’s super speeder violation, possession of cannabis, driving while license revoked, along with numerous criminal traffic charges. His bond was set at $8,500.

Next, we head to Arkansas State Police, known across the country for their aggressive but skillful pursuit tactics. Not only do they pull off one PIT maneuver this fleeing truck gets hit with two precision immobilizations before finally coming to a stop.

We then move to Ramsey County, Minnesota, where deputies execute a PIT maneuver on a rainy night showing just how challenging weather conditions can be when performing this technique at speed.

After that, we showcase a jaw-dropping moment from the Florida Highway Patrol, where troopers perform a PIT at over 135 mph. Despite the danger, the officer manages it with near perfect timing and control. The fleeing driver, 34-year-old Darrius Lowe, was arrested and charged with possession and trafficking fentanyl, possession of marijuana, reckless driving, resisting without violence, and fleeing and eluding at high speed.

Finally, we check in with Officer Kevin Lane from the Renton Police Department in Washington, who breaks down how the PIT maneuver works and why officers train so extensively to get it right.
