[W126 Coupe] offtopic - traffic violation

[Shayegan, Richard]

Unless this is Washington, DC where they don't have prove it's you but
you have to prove it's not you. When did burden of proof shift to the
defendant?

The worst?? Hypothetically they come to take you away and you,
hypothetically, become a boy-toy in the slammer. 

 

Realistically? If it wasn't obvious that you were running from the cops
(no tire smoke or power oversteer), then they may just go back to work
and leave it there. Bill's right, you may get something obnoxious in the
mail, but unless they have a photo of you driving the car or got a very
close look at the driver, then they likely don't have a case because
they can't prove it was YOU that was the miscreant. They may have the
license number but if there are other people that can drive your car,
"prove it's me and I'll pay it" might just work.

Since a couple of you guys are cops and lawyers, let me pose a
hypothetical question.

 

If I cut through some cones to get around a detour (offramp
construction), and some cruisers then turn on their lights (no siren or
PA) and proceed to follow me but get stuck in traffic, and I just go
home, what's the worst I can expect, and what's most likely to happen?

 

BTW, I think they should require all detours to have port-o-potty's
around the midpoint of the traffic congestion.
