Spikes cant be set in front of a stationary car, and secondly having cars off to the side wont give you any cover, not a good idea.

Last time I checked - the police are not obligated to enforce the law/stop a shooting unless a contract is created between the affected party(ies) and the police in question (OR unless there is a mandate per state law that they do so).
@DannyboyJurist You concur?

What about FBI/IO, who could be undercover as a hostage. I’ve seen this (similar) happen in a few real situations.

can swat/crt still enter a building with their shield out for negotiations instead of a gun? personally i find it a lot easier to enter a building with a shield instead of a gun, as it saves you from misfiring and also can also make the hostage taker feel safer, if we breach with a gun then we are gonna seem like we are breaching and may set back negotiations.
also, i think there hasnt been much clarification about tactical unit’s scene priority, as i can already picture 5 deputies all rushing in with swat and getting crossfired.

This isn’t the United States. Considering every criminal law has every LEA stated as enforcers they are required by about 50 state laws to act.

good idea, except there could be impatient people who would rush in to buy a car unfortunately. But that would be uncommon, so yeah it could work.

Thats why Riot Shields exist?? If there are no officers with riot shields they should attempted to get hold of the taker via phone or page.

Yeah no, thats not the proper use of a shield, its meant for breaching, first man in has the shield.

Technically you breach to negotiate. So I don’t see the issues with riot shields. You might as well make Hostage Sits FRP with all this ridiculous changes.
Edit:
Negotiator is generally the first person to breach to Negotiate

Not realistic whatsoever.

Still makes no sense, so LEO’s can pull shields out of nowhere during shootouts but not use them in Hostages??
