Re: “Iffen he wasn't doing anything wrong he had nothing to be afraid of.”
I don't buy into that line of thought. I've heard it too many times with regard to my own practices - why I cover my laptop camera, why I turn off my Amazon Echo's mike when I don't need it, why I don't want to register certain possessions, why I won't carry a smart phone. It's usually libtards who argue "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you've got no reason to worry." My answer to them is, "YES I DO. I DON'T WANT TO HELP THEM FRAME ME FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO."

You see, if the authorities want to get you dishonestly, it really helps if they know all about you: Where you hang out, who you associate with, when you've been to certain places, what you own, etc. I have long since outgrown the childish notion that authority figures are necessarily friends - and there are others whose distrust goes well beyond mine. If I was the "Hotlanta homey" in ribit's story, it might have crossed my mind to run. What if the cops intended to arrest me and plant drugs or drop a gun? If that's what a person has come to expect of police, then running is rational.
