FL shoots trade lane
Copper sees that as an unlawful act
Tries to interact with FL as an unlawful target (to arrest/fine etc)
FL is now labelled as an unlawful

These little situations can escalate quickly into things that are far bigger than the initial event, usually with someone getting killed.

Nothing bad in it. He can insult police inRP, refuse to pay fine and be engaged too, no? Almost the same thing. And I think you can do that.

..by which point the cop is likely to have taken the long line of behaviour which is typical of an unlawful character as an indicator that this FL is indeed acting unlawfully.

There are other points I am happy to discuss but i didn't really want to linger on the particulars of the FL ID which are already widely debated.
