You can block the entire road with police vehicles, from shoulder to shoulder.

You can then box them in from behind as all traffic comes to a complete halt.

It is done all the time, it is an accepted practice, and it works.

Look at some of the videos of where the were riding, there are places that could be made inescapable for anyone driving any type of motor vehicle, including a motorcycle.

The will to do so was missing on the part of LEO...maybe because cops were unwilling to arrest other cops engaged in criminal activity.

This will now change.
