"I hear a kind of loud and deep noise," she said during the experiment.
There's a big difference between thinking you've blown a tire and hearing a siren. One gets your attention the other causes you to take action to get yourself off the road to a safe place.
If the shaking action is the case I can see this thing unintentionally causing accidents.

Many new vehicles with forward collision warnings have seats that vibrate to get your attention.

They certainly do but when your steering wheel starts shaking what's the first thing that goes through your mind?
My guess is isn't that the police want to get my attention.

If my steering wheel shakes, I think I have a front-end alignment problem or a bad tire....or I get used to the new police tech.
This won't be the cause of mass accidents. Let's get back to reality.
If so, why?
Answer that question and then re-consider the safety aspect of anyone deploying this on the road.
Is this illegal for a private citizen to own?

No worse than a car with a big stereo and lots of bass.

Good point.

Nobody said anything about mass accidents. But, if it causes of has caused even one accident then it's a potential hazard.
Most alignment problems start off with minor symptoms that left unattended grow into things that cause the steering wheel to shake but if your steering wheel has been fine and suddenly starts to shake for no reason chances are you've either had something let go, wear out or you have a flat tire and the proper reaction is to get safely to the roadside and stop your vehicle, which I also suppose is the intent of this new police device.
Either way, until people get used to the fact that the police can simulate a major symptom of vehicle catastrophe with a horn and learn to ignore what could be a potentially dangerous situation because it might just be the police trying to get them to move, then things will be fine.

Take it easy.
It doesn't simulate anything beyond the guy beside you with a loud radio.
It's not like your car starts to shake violently.

And that was my original question because the article says 2 different things.
