    Cops can also just grab your plates and mail you the inital citation as well as seek further measures for fleeing the scene or whatever.

    Don’t get me wrong acab and the meme made me exhale sharply. But yeah, no one should be getting shot at for driving away from a cop. SHOULD

      They could, but they’d rather chase you down, ram you, and maybe execute you instead. Fragile egos and all that. The best part is that you never know what kind of cop you’re gonna get. Is it the unicorn cop this time that’s just Mr. Rogers in a uniform, or is it the secret Nazi cop that’s looking for a reason. Roll the stop sign, roll the dice.
