the first mistake was she drove off after she stopped, and the policeman told her to wait for him to come back to her. as for my own self and situation i have always felt if i drove off after being stopped by the police that i would either be shot at, shot and killed, stopped again and likely put in jail until i could get bailed out. you know i just remembered a situation i had years ago when i refused to stop for maybe five miles or more until i got into a fairly busy area with cars and people around. i was visiting my girlfriend at the time whose family lived way out in the country on a small farm-like area. i drove home later that night, and it was a long drive to get back to the outskirts of my town. after driving about five or ten miles a car came up behind me and turned on a red light that did not flash -- not a cop i thought. i just kept driving the speed limit. i must have driven five or six more miles this way, and the car even drove beside me to tell me to pullover. i did not. i eventually got to an area with some traffic and some people around in parking lots. i pulled over on the shoulder, and i expected a cop. it appeared to be some kind of game warden. he was agitated, and wanted to rail at me for not having stopped. i told him his light did not look like a law enforcement light, and i was not going to pull over in the middle of nowhere in the country (i was driving a late model porsche, and theft was my concern.). the guy told me they had had some poaching of deer or some animal in that area, and i was driving a vehicle they were not familiar with. it seemed to me a poacher would not be driving a porsche, so theft might have been on their mind anyway. so i remained cool, and eventually these two got back in their car and left me alone. the woman in the van who drove off might have done the same thing i did, or she might have gotten rid of her drug stuff before she stopped. driving off after stopping is just dumb imo.
