Is resisting arrest by running considered stupid?
Absofuckinglutely.

"According to a police affidavit and court records, (Cherry's name) ran from officers late Friday or early Saturday after she made a deal for sex with a decoy officer at a motel near Macon and Sycamore View, jumping into a red Isuzu Rodeo with two men.
Officers pulled the SUV over and took her into custody.
When a lieutenant asked why she ran, she said, “Because the last time (my) name was in the newspaper.”
Too funny. Add that to the two dudes waiting in the car for her and I'm not thinking she has helped herself out among the mongering community. Anybody figured out who the other 3 are yet? I posted their pics on the mug shot site.[/QUOTE]I'm a little surprised that the dudes in the car weren't arrested and charged with some form of accessorial liability for her resisting arrest. Unless there's some little quirk of TN law I don't know about.
That's the best "reason" I've heard for running from a cop since one of my clients (back when I was a public defender) told the judge during the guilty plea inquiry that he ran from the cops because he needed to dispose of the heroin he was carrying.
Damn, I could have won all my cases, but for the fact that my clients were stupid.
:D
Cheers,
