It is symbolic mostly. I would also hope most people understand that this law is simply in place to offer a grounds for defense in a criminal trial. You are most certainly going to have to surrender afterword. Of course that being said once you have won your case you then will have the opportunity to file for liability against the dept and recoup your legal costs and let's not forget wrongful imprisonment, potential lost wages, etc. I would also hope most people have the sense to know when this law applies and when to simply cooperate with the police. Having a cop for a dad and having considered a career in law enforcement myself I can see where a lot of sheeple could get the wrong idea from this law. We must educate ourselves on such matters.
