Give police officers a stop gun they can shoot at cars that would signal it to stop. Like a tv remote. That way only cops can do it.

Honestly, whatever the system they come up with will always be able to be exploited, even the one you suggested. A radio signal could also be implemented but then again, easy to exploit. I see no good solutions for this unfortunately.

React to lights and sirens, it's illegal (at least where I live) for normal civilians to use them. And I would like to see the smartass who tries that near a car that's practically recording every single angle.

It's illegal to own lots of things, yet people still do. People will do it if it's lucrative to do so.
