Something wrong in this story. The guy was not blind and, if I recall my last traffic stop, the flashers come on to intimidate you into stopping.
And, when you stop, keep your hands on the top of the steering wheel, don’t get out of the car until the officer tells you otherwise
Yup.
And the post cited in #8 says that during the pursuit, both cars sustained damage.
You flee the cops, you damage the cop’s car, and you exit the vehicle. You will be shot.
Not rocket science.
Pretend you are deaf... now think about that for a minute.
