weapon i've ever found was a butterfly knife. Been in chases several times and every
single time the suspect ends up giving up... we don't step torwards him/her/them with
our weapons drawn, we simply walk up to the person and ask what the hell he was
thinking and ask what he was trying to get away for. Not to mention that trying to
escape from the police isn't illegal in my country because it falls under the right of
freedom and there's no written law against it nor do i, as a police officer, see the
need for one considering most people that try to get away (may it be by car or foot)
simply get into a state of panic because they're scared. After all, that's why you
visit the gym and remain fit, right ?
