Or if we understand you , blocking in a car is contrary to Dept Policy, at least in incidents similar to this one . Doing so is certainly physically possible .

Magic grits???No, they changed the laws of physics at my agency. It is no longer physically possible to block cars
IT is one of Toyotas crossovers. It is large like a true crossover utility vehicle but sits lower to the ground.A what?
Reminds me of the Seinfeld bit. An Integrity? No, an Integra. Well I hope it's not a Lemona or you'll be hearing from my Lawya.
L T D, it's a Limited Edition. But they sell a million of those things. Yeah, limited to how many we can sell.
We cannot box cars in. We can “block traffic” and hope for the best, which is what it appears to have happened. Shitty policy only leaves half measures.
As far as the window, I would guess they didn’t want to spray her with glass. It looked like she wasn’t swinging for the fence.
Center punch from Harbor Freight. Good use of $8. Also good for getting kids/pets out of hot cars without splaying glass all over.
Sadly, far too expensive for most police department budgets. Teddy bears however............................

Why?
Blocking in a car seems like the safest alternative for everyone.
It is amazing to me the amount of people on this form who do not grasp the concept of laminated safety glass.
No, a punch, hammer, asp, fatmax, spring punch, escape tool, crowbar or any other things listed would not have been effective. Those are effective on tempered glass, not safety glass.
Things that are effective on safety glass are disc saws, sawzalls and the like.
The officers may have had better luck with a rear hatch window or rear door window, but that would put them in a precarious position having to climb over seats to get to the unlock button.
Seriously guys, it is not easy to break through laminated glass from the outside.
I understand that Glas-Master tool uses a spring loaded center punch and it is advertised to work on all laminated windows.
Is that BS?

If you lack the technology to extract, or the permission to prevent movement , and initially just a parking violation , with no PC of felony .... Why not stick a parking ticket under the wiper, declare Victory , and go on your way ?
Does the academy have junk cars that the recruits practice on?
The resilience of laminated glass shouldn't be a surprise to anyone whose job it is to break it.
