American cops will never understand that they can just take a license plate and go knock on the door later, no, "I said stop and they are not stopping! The punishment for disobedience is death!"
This was always my train of thought. Why not just get the license plate and let the suspect think they got away, then just catch them at home later. American cops are just trigger happy assholes.
You can steal plates or simply not have plates. What then? The problem is cops treat everyone as if they are extremely dangerous individual, without any evidence to the contary. I wouldnt even put it pass these idiots from shooting the infant even if the mother did comply. They are that damn paranoid.
They can run the plates and check if they match the car or if the car itself is listed stolen in literal seconds...
American cops choose violence.
And carry all that ammo both ways?
Not both ways. They are gonna unload at her home.
Yeah it is the entire point. It's an extra charge they can guarantee if they don't comply.
