Ranging from simply locking in the passengers of a vehicle and securely stopping the vehicle up to locking the passengers in and driving to the next police station.
This is clearly not in the interest of all kinds of criminals, including shadowrunners. So one of the most often used methods to deal with this is do simply disconnect the Vehicle Termination Chip.
This can be done in one of two ways:
Programmatically:
This requires a Computer (6) Test to disconnect the code that shuts down the Vehicle.
Base time is 10 Minutes.
Physically:
This requires a Electronics (5) Test to disconnect the wiring that shuts down the Vehicle.
Base time is 10 Minutes.
