If ONLY the accelerator is disabled then I see no problems. The driver would still have control of the vehicle via steering and brake, which I think is enough to keep the driver safe.
I don't think the potential intersection problem would ever occur given clear communication between police and the remote shut off. Police, I hope, would have the patience to wait for a good opportunity (i.e. just after an intersection and not directly before) to stop a vehicle in this manner.
