Perhaps you don't realize that traffic stops are one of the top three causes of officer deaths in the line of duty? The officer may be pulling someone over for a misdemeanor but the driver thinks they got caught for the felony they committed.

Perhaps you think this was just a kid? Who do you think does most home burglaries and car thefts?

Being pulled over and fleeing the scene is probable cause.

In addition it's a misdemeanor until you flee then it becomes a felony. Depending on the juridiction an officer can use a Taser on someone committing a felony.
