1. I don't think a modern diesel car would have much
more HERF resistance than a gas car - I expect that the
target is not so much the ignition system as it is the
onboard computers, which modern diesels have just as much
as gas cars.
2. I'm highly doubtful about LEA deployment of HERF
weapons, at least in the US because of the collateral
damage/liability problem, up to and including killing
innocent bystanders with heart pacers. Cops like to
fantasize as much as anyone else.
