In most states nothing happens. If they have you on body camera then they can match it to the driver’s license database. You’re going to get your ticket and another for driving off, in the mail.
No chase policies aren’t uncommon. They’re not universal but they’re not uncommon.
Given the rarity of chases, the danger they pose, and the lack of benefit in most cases, the guidance is usually to not bother unless there’s reason to believe there’s something like a kidnapping or murder.
Or the cop will fire blindly through the back windshield of the car. Luck of the draw really.
Doubt. The amount of cops who are either going to A give chase or B open fire regardless of the local laws is going to be far beyond statistically relevant. Maybe even a large plurality.
Never, never assume that a cop knows the law. Their job is to enforce, not to know. That’s the DA’s job.
On stuff like whether they’re supposed to be chasing people over traffic infractions it’s very much their job and expected knowledge. If you want to have a talk about state sanctioned violence you don’t get to detour to rogue officers.

The universe in which we still need cars and cars kill 42,000 people a year. If you don’t want this problem then make cars unnecessary.

Well we can’t have the doubt without its two precursors. Thanks for being so complete.
