You are allowed to drive to a well lit area period. If they hit the lights on a dark secluded HWY, I sure as hell wouldn't want my wife stopping as soon as the lights go on. What is not known is did this guy slow down and turn hazards on to let the officers know that he was aware they want to stop him.
You are flat out wrong here.
I know cops in real life as well. from several cities. They covered for each other all the time. Frequented a bar I frequented as well.
One story I witnessed, was the going to the cops house after bar closed. The one guy from a different city, rolled and totaled his Ford Ranger in a field. It was laying on the roof. The friends of the city he was in, got a tow truck out there, and flipped and hauled off said ranger. No tickets, no citations, dude basically lost his vehicle. Also wound up at the party afterwards, needless to say all were drunk.
At another man in blues house party, he got very drunk, and wanted to go find some "Ni**ers" to shoot. ried to get me to go. He was going hunting.
I declined, and also left the house, parked my vehicle around the block and slept it off.
BTW this is in Detroit, you know that crime ridden place where everyone is a suspect until proven innocent.
