How do the cops take the ecu? It’s not theirs to take and do they have the tools to do this?

Sounds like “old man coffee shop rumours” to me..

What if your car was an old 930 like mine with over 500 HP at the wheels and no electronics or ECU and no Nannie’s to turn off? If I crash it do they just take me to jail?
