I've asked Police officers, if you're allowed to spike cars, that are not moving. Some of them say yes, while others say it's fail rp, since you wouldn't be able to do that in real life. What is the correct answer?

Can you spike cars that are not moving?

No, because you need to drive over spikes for them to work, so if they aren't driving over them their tires aren't gonna get shreded.

I'd say its more something you should advoid. Like if you do it on purpose, then yes, but if it manages to happen by accident it would probably slide.

I'd say if you do that it would be failrp yeah. Since in real life you can throw spikes in front of a car while it's not moving but it won't do anything. but bcause of arma it will break their tires.

Think of it in RL. You place a spike strip next to a stationary car, what would happen? Answer=nothing.
Spike strips have a script that can't mimic RL in terms of motion, using them to take out tires of stationary vehicles is using mechanics to do something that wouldn't happen.
Don't do it! Simples.

There is mate, it's called the common sense rule.

Why has it never been a problem until now then? Irl you can easily place a spike strip infront of a vehicle to stop it driving off but doing this on the server will not work.
This common sense rule applies to things like "do not swear at people (out of roleplay), troll people, or bully people". It may seem extremely obvious to you that you cannot spike strip a moving vehicle (this also applies to the unwritten rule "knocking out with gun pointed at you") but a new CSO may roleplay this as placing it infront of a vehicle or it may not even cross their mind that they cannot do it.
Everyone thinks differently and in this situation 'common sense' isn't the same in everyone - not very common.

The thing with this is if you drive backwards irl then you won't be spiked. But due to arma mechanics when you step in the vehicle you will be spiked which is bullshit.

I thought it would be exploiting / FailRP or something like that. Everyone thinks differently and I think it would be nice if this gets cleared up in the Police / Community meeting?

I don't mean placing spikes near a stopped vehicle to prevent it from escaping, that's fine. I'm talking about placing spikes close enough to a stationary car in order to blow the tires out whilst it's still stationary.
Can't recall if it was a police, staff or community meeting, but it was discussed recently and deemed a no no.

Let me ask you how a stationary vehicle loses it's tires by you placing a spike strip near it then? It's shit RP doing it and cops do it a hell of a lot.
Just because there is no rule doesn't mean you should just do it anyways
