The gently caress do they need sirens blaring for in a 5 MPH "chase"?

In America it's actually a crime to resist an unlawful arrest. Or at least that's what a cop told me once when I walked away from him at a protest - I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't doubt it. I'm a cis white dude so I was able to just walk away without finding out if it was true.

One need not be charged with anything to be arrested, and the lawfulness of the arrest is something to be adjudicated after the fact. How else could it possibly work?

Presumably following procedure, which is generally a good thing

i think it is "legal" to resist an unlawful arrest but have fun pressing your luck with that.

The lights make sense since the forklift doesn't have any and it's dark. Sirens don't. Cops/Ambulances/Fire trucks around where I live generally do lights only when they're not in the middle of running traffic lights

You're also not allowed to inspect the house until it's been decontaminated but they're not doing that before the sale. It's $1.5M on a whole lot of problems.

Best way to make sure it’s empty.

Where I live this is settled case law -- you can't be brought in just for resisting arrest, and if the other charges are thrown out the RA charge gets dumpstered automatically because the original arrest was unlawful. This doesn't apply if it actually goes to trial and you get acquitted of the other charges, though; it's for cases where the judge looks at the charges and goes "what the gently caress is wrong with those cops".

Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

That is why they have vague charges like disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct. That way they can always arrest you for something since a lot of it is entirely open for interpretation.

THEN they hit you with resisting arrest after they beat you up so they can charge you with something more than just being annoying.

Cops lie all the time, they are explicitly allowed to.
