“common sense”?

you do know that what you suggested ironically is literally what happens in sane countries, right?

you try to ignore the police because of a broken tail light? they’ll just summon you to court, they have your plates. and you’ll be fined for fleeing the police and probably lose your driver’s license, at least temporarily and if it’s a temporary revocation you’ll definitely be required to attend further driver’s training at your own expense before you’re allowed to drive again.

you’re not home or pretend not to be? they’ll track you down and either deliver the summons directly or just arrest you.

that’s normal. that’s the normal thing to happen.

you know what’s not normal? Killing people because they don’t want to talk to you!
