Most people would think just the opposite. If you run then you are guilty of something, or trying to hide something. If you are actually innocent, then that can be sorted out when the cops question you, but either way running away isn't some kind of get out of jail free card to avoid the police.

If you only get your news from Reddit, HN and Huffpo it would be easy to believe that the majority of actions of police are corrupt/evil/terrible, but this is not the case.
