This is some very "hindsight is 2020" thinking. She knew there were cops at her place asking around for someone, and the next day she sees men attaching something to her car.

How is she to know that they were state vs local police, and whether they were working together.

Besides, it seems clear to me she only "didn't know if it was a bomb" at first, but at some point likely after taking to NAACP, she found out it was a tracker. So therefore at no point in time was she thinking she was disposing of a bomb. That's a fantasy.

Here is some 2021 thinking: If you have reason to believe the police have attached a bomb to your car, you should run from the car. Better to abandon your car forever than to attempt to defuse or destroy the bomb, something you have ZERO experience with. It's better to lose your car than your life.

(You call the bomb scenario a fantasy, but that is what this sub-conversation is really about and it's the scenario you were responding to up thread.)
