Yes don't commit traffic violations but also don't shoot people for driving away.
To be fair in Europe and even in the USA people don’t get shot when driving away.
If you go on YouTube and look at sovereign citizen videos you will see that even in the USA they just chase you down and maybe ram your car. Rough but not being shot for driving away.
In Germany they would just follow you from a safe distance till you eventually stop then arrest you for fleeing and dangerous driving.
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.
The moment the leopard eats the face, it's the leopard's fault.
I've watched videos of people getting shot and killed for driving away in the United States. I know you wish that didn't happen, but it definitely does, multiple times a year, and most of the time the cops don't face any penalties for their actions.
If you want to talk about how we wish the police functioned, that would be a neat discussion, but this post is about reality, and not our dreams.
lmao, racialized people sure do get shot when they drive away (even sometimes when they don't).
