Did you miss the "keyless ignition" part of my post? I understand them, use them, and sadly the state trooper didn't. You may not be fully familiar with the systems, but you push to start, and you push again to stop. He could have turned off the car if he knew how.

BTW, you were pretty rude to another poster (why so angry about this?), and claimed computer power switches were hard wired. You are wrong, at least for the last 15 years, with the introduction the ATX specs power switches are soft on/off.

I was speaking of the reset switch, not the power switch. Power switches are the last ditch effort. And the soft switches on recent ATX power supplies just require a resistor, I think if they havent changed recently, I hacked an ATX power supply to function outside of the case a awhile back, for another project and had to defeat the “soft” switch.
