You're right, spinning the car out before they kill an innocent motorist is much more dangerous then the Italian Police who have used automatic weapons against cars that fail to stop for road side checks. The Police in Italy have a short staff with a metal disk on top. One side is green, one red. The American Serviceman call it a "lollypop". When they show the red, you WILL stop. Cars that fail to do so are rammed or fired upon. My old partner was stationed in Northern Italy before he retired from the USAF and saw it happen in person. I have no problems using deadly force against those who use it without regard against the innocent public. A 4000lb car is just as deadly as a gun or a knife. Only lawyers, as usual, make out in the end when one of these unfortunate events occur.
