4. While understand there are a lot of issues out there but how would you handle the relationship between authority and illegal or uncooperative actions?  What kind of policy should we have for a person that decides they are not going to submit to a lawful questioning about their actions or decide to leave the scene of an incident that they were some how involved in but the evidence is unknown or an officer gives a command for the person to lower their arms or sit on the ground or even lay on the ground and they refuse - what do you do with a person that just decides to walk away or drive away.
