In a civilized country you get a ticket and can pay it later. If you drive away before they're finished, they will follow because you might be up to sth. Illegal if you are running from the police. But you won't get shot at.

This. The comic is highlighting that not following police orders will get you killed no matter how petty the offence. Jump a $2 subway fare and everyone needs to duck because cops are now dumping their mags into a crowd of people.

In most places, they're not allowed to follow you for a driving infraction.

They have your license plate info and know who owns the vehicle. They'll mail you a citation.
