Why do passengers run?

[bvol]

So I notice (from Cops and such as that) that 99% of the time when the police are chasing a vehicle once they finally stop everyone in the car gets out and runs. If you have no warrants why wouldn't you just sit there with your hands up/out the window and say "I was begging that guy (who I don't know) to stop!".

All I can figure is that they....

A. Most times have warrants

B. Are afraid of ratting out the driver

C. Feel they can get away because you will probably chase the driver

D. Are dumb animals and when the herd runs they do too

There are several reasons:
1) Everyone knows that the cops are just looking to keep you down and they will make stuff up & frame you just to accomplish it.
2) Most cops are fat and lazy, so they will never catch ya.
3) The lose track of which name to use to come up w/o a warrant
4) There is a little known competition in certain neighborhoods. I don't know the name, but it is based on how fast and far you can run with your pants continually falling down to your knees.
and finally,
5) Because you can.

I never understood this. If I were doing something so wrong that I thought I might have to run from the police I would for sure be wearing pants that fit! I guess that's easy for me to say though since all my pants fit.

:rolleyes: That's because they are YOUR pants!

Most of the runners when caught dirty claim "But these ain't my pants Officer"

I would hope your joking but somehow I fear your not. This leads me to believe that there must be some Fat Albert sized pants-less drug addict, who's Alzheimer’s causes him to forget his drugs, supplying half of the suspects I see on COPs with their clothes.

Really guys, if that's the best you can come up with? I was watching a show the other day where a woman claimed the wind blew pot into her bra. I mean really? If I were to ever have drugs and be caught. I would really like be believe I would be man enough to say "yup, you caught me. My bad."...

Yeah, I cannot tell you how many times that we find guns/drugs in someone's pants and they claim that they are not theirs.

I'm sorry but that would make my day! How can you even keep a straight face when they try to say that it's not their pants? I'm paranoid now, last week I borrowed a friend of mine's gym shorts to play football. And to think they could have been full of crack and pistols and I didn't even know it!

Lol. Very good.

Which reminds me. I ate a donut this morning :eek:. I need to run. Check back later. Be Safe.

I like to run around without pants on at all.

I'm not running from the police, though, it's just a hobby.

[scott715us]

Why do they run?

Simple,

THEY'RE GUILTY

The answer to your question is really quite simple:

The passenger that runs is actually very public spirited and realizes that the Cop who is chasing them needs to stretch his legs after being stressed and tensed up from the pursuit, so he obliges the Training Office by encouraging the Cop to pump up the cardio. ;)

See? Simple.

Not that I'm ever planning on it but if due to some strange turn of events I ever end up running from the police, I'm for sure using that one! I will say that I'm undercover from the Training Office and it's my job to make sure that each officer gets in at least on foot pursuit per month. Then I will proclaim, "My job is done here" and tell the officer "You passed with flying colors", at which point, I'm sure they will pat me on the back and let me go on my way...
