No. If you had RTFA, you'd have seen that the police couldn't do anything apart from jam it between two police vehicles and hold it on those vehicle's brakes. A roadside technician (actually a company I had to call out when I destroyed the starter motor on the work's van last week) arrived three hours later (same call-out time for me) and eventually got the vehicle to turn off. Knowing how nosy cops are, the three immobilised vehicles probably had a good number of visits from every traffic patrol in the district, and between them they couldn't get it to stop.
Take a look at that RTFA and maybe also take a look at the pictures of a car with absolutely NO DAMAGE. Not even a scratch. Do you really think that car was sandwiched? Really? Are you dumb?
There is also this quote: A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "The car was travelling at a low speed and officers carried out a controlled halt with the aid of a police vehicle. There was no damage to either vehicle" - are you implying the police is lying?
Also it is clearly an MG ZS EV and yes that car has adaptive cruise control.
This being an EV it can't actually sit still and have the "motor running". EVs simply don't work like that. If the motor turns, the car goes or at least the tires turn.
The car would have gone into automatic park when the driver left the car anyway.
