Oh, if I see a pair of these, I'll snap :) Whoever is out there paying $30,000 just to fuck people up probably has it coming, though.

In the game "Saints Row 2" these are known as kneecappers. They can be used to puncture the tires of other cars by ramming them (In the game, haven't tried thar in real life yet)
