Does petty crime that warrants the death penalty, and gets confronted while committing said crime:

Whelp, I’m facing the death penalty if I surrender or get subdued, so I might as well fight to the death, take hostages- anything really, as an alternative to certain death.

Leaves multiple casualties while fighting to the death.

Nice.

Are you sure about that?

Do we have to wear the dumb clothes, too?

This assumes that every prisoner has committed a crime and that the police do more to get at the truth than they do to close cases. Looking at history, these are really bad assumptions to make.
