Even in the insanely improbable event you somehow:
1. Detect or know a car bomb is mobile
2. Locate exactly where it is
3. Have this ridiculous attack helicopter ready and nearby
4. AND Arrive in time...
It's still ridiculously overkill, as a guy hanging out the door of a Jet Ranger with a high power rifle or machine gun could easily just pump bullets into the engine to stop the vehicle without any issue. With the bonus of probably being MUCH less likely to set off the bomb with a stray shot then frikkin cannon or missile fire from a gunship. Have the criminals in the series used large formations of armored vehicles? No. Do they use mass artillery no? Do they have giant supply lines of clearly marked logistic vehicles? No. Which means there is no reason what-so-frikkin-ever to be using an attack helicopter it's firepower will do nothing but raise the chances of unnecessary deaths and generate bad press. It does NOTHING in a policing environment that could not be accomplished by a marksmen in a civilian helicopter.
