    if someone runs from a routine traffic stop, the cops will assume it’s because you have something bigger to hide, and they’ll react accordingly.

    i used to be a bad guy. I’ve been arrested countless times, and most of them for good reason.

    i never ran, always complied, and the cops were usually good to me. it’s common sense that if you run from a traffic stop, they’re gonna think you have drugs or guns or something much worse going on than just a simple traffic ticket.

    don’t run from cops when you’re in the wrong. simple as that

      If the cops yell “hey you stop” at a cyclist who rolls a stop sign in the middle of a bunch of hostile car-centric infrastructure and the cyclist keeps riding, the correct response is for the cops to go fuck themselves.
