The PIT maneuver (precision immobilization technique[1]), also known as TVI (tactical vehicle intervention), is a law enforcement pursuit tactic in which a pursuing vehicle forces another vehicle to turn sideways abruptly, causing the driver to lose control and stop.[2] It was developed by BSR Inc. and first used by the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia, United States, in 1988.[2]
