There was a video of a man driving a van with his kids and a Minnesota state patrol officer was trying to pull him over. He did not stop right away because there was no place to safely do so. The officer hit his car (its called a pit manover I think) to make him stop. I know they tell us we can drive to a well lighted area or call 911 but you know full well if we do they can cause thousands of dollars of damage to our cars, endanger our lives and the lives of our passengers, AND charge us with felony fleeing on top of whatever they wanted to pull us over for in the first place. Its all a ruse to pad the fine.
The crime prevention OFFICE cops tell you if you have any doubts, drive until you can pull over where there are people. They DON'T seem to tell the STREET cops not to get very angry at your wasting their valuable time. We've seen tha Taserings, the charges with failure to obey authoritah, obstructing justice, whatever they feel like. Unmarked cars doing traffic stops is a BAD idea whose negative unintended consequences can only get worse.
