Hmmm. Hard to say. A cop pulled me over for “Operating a motor vehicle without her phone number”. Eventually, she agreed to only give me a DWS (Driving While Sexy). It feels like an abuse of power, but as she reminds me all the time, she’s the one with the gun…
Cameras are definitely the main problem. To get away with any crime in the modern age, you probably need to plan for being caught on camera. Especially if you end up in front of a cop.
1: the first thing every cop says at a stop is “turn the engine off and put your key on the dash” if you haven’t done that by the time he gets to your window
I’ve been pulled over many times and have never experienced this.
Also, high speed chases are much more likely to end in the shooting death of the suspect. Which is why more progressive communities tend to bar cops from high speed chases.

For a brief time in the Seattle area you could actually run from cops and they couldn’t do shit besides go the speed limit and watch you drive off.
Those days are over now and cops are finally enforcing other laws… weird how that works.
In the world of push to start, do cops actually ask you to put your keys on the dash?

Got pulled over in an EV. Not so much as an on/off switch. Cop didn’t ask me to do anything.
“KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM AND PUT THIS GROUNDING STRAP AROUND YOUR WRIST!”
I’ve been pulled over quite a bit and have never had a cop ask me to put my keys on the dash.
It’s never happened to me either. Maybe he’s experiencing some weird regional thing.
