Here is the thing. As someone already mentioned. It is a deceptive headline. The content states “individuals because they attempt to avoid police contact.”...

Not “evading”. I’m sure it does not prevent officers from interacting if they have reasonable probable cause that a crime has been committed.

Yeah...if I see cops doing cop things, I might cross the street, or turn around to avoid them. If they said “Hey, you!” I’d stop, and ask what they wanted.

I was on a grand jury, long ago, and the cop being questioned had pulled a young girl over for a traffic infraction. She got pissy, and said she didn’t want to talk to the cop. She rolled up her window and drove home. He followed her...she drove slowly, and obeyed the laws of the road. When she got out in front of her house, he cuffed her, and read her her rights. It was pretty cut and dried...we issued a true bill for attempting to elude. It probably got tossed before it went to trial, but she probably learned something. Some of the cop shootings these days are from people turning near-nothing events into felonies.
