It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Lots of half-truths here.
1: the first thing every cop says at a stop is "turn the engine off and put your key on the dash" if you haven't done that by the time he gets to your window
2: if you're pulled over, it's already too late to run. Cruisers have had dash cams for decades and your tag has already been photographed.
3: improper use of "statistically" but the best autos are quicker than sticks. That's why squad cars use them and theyre probably better than yours
4: you can probably talk yourself out of a ticket for speeding, GL talking yourself out of an evading charge.
Tl;dr cops suck. Nobody likes them. You can (and should) fight them in the courts and the voting booth, but you will lose if you try to do it on the road.
Cameras are definitely the main problem. To get away with any crime in the modern age, you probably need to plan for being caught on camera. Especially if you end up in front of a cop.
