      There’s a low chance of that working…but it’s not zero with the right legal team.

        With the right legal team you can kick the police in the balls and piss on their car and get away with it.

      I know I’ve read of at least one successful case where the person fled the scene and went home, then claimed he was drinking at home. Honestly, though, there’s so many things that factor into whether an individual gets arrested or released that we’d need more examples to differentiate between just letting someone go and This One Simple Trick Judges Hate.
