Having been the subject of a similar street interview at 3 am in Lower Sahali, Kamloops, BC, there was no way I could have escaped. One Member was interviewing me, there had been a B&E and I was the only two legged person around, and one Member behind me. I guarantee had I boogied the Member behind would have had me down and cuffed instantly.

I taught officers street interviewing skills. Nobody ever escaped.
