RE: there is nothing wrong in running from the police if you are not doing anything wrong.

So, let’s say you’re a cop on the beat in a location known to be a drug trade zone. You approach a street and spot someone who saw you running away. What to do? Just let him go?

I've been a cop, and if you know the area, you can usually get a charge on the perp if he runs. Normally, they have SOME type of arrest warrant, violation of probation, something. But to be honest, arresting someone JUST because they run is false arrest.

Why would I be running away if I am the cop?
