pro tip for all my boys at the Roosh V Forum:
The easiest EASIEST way to steal a vehicle is to get one from a hotel valet. Go to a hotel and look around in the parking deck/parking lot.
Find the car you want. On the dashboard will be a ticket number. Memorize that ticket number.
Go back into the hotel and walk out the front door and up to the valet. Tell him that you are picking up your car, hand him a 10 dollar bill and tell him the number. Valet's aren't going to do shit. They are going to take their tips and give you a car. I know. I was a valet.

I get the sense that shutting down a major city is pretty impossible. The cops could monitor you credit card activity or flag you at the airports, but buses have to be much harder. They could spread your picture around Grand Central, but there's Bolt and Megabus that pick up on the street and the Chinatown buses downtown. Worst case, you could just walk across the GW Bridge.
There have got to be a lot of places where someone with a reasonable amount of intelligence and good work ethic can go, earn some decent scratch, and mind his own business. You do that for as long as it takes to build up a decent bankroll and then take off for Central America or SE Asia or anywhere you can live comfortably and keep a low profile.
I would guess that most criminals don't have a very large network to turn to or much of a global outlook, unless they're connected to some larger organization like a cartel. Most guys probably have their hood and maybe some relatives or friends somewhere else, so it's easy enough for the cops to sit on those locations. Also, a lot of criminals don't seem to mind prison or at least they see it as just a part of the life. For a civilian like me, I'd rather die than spend the next 30 years of my life in prison. There's no upside to it. Even if I managed to not be intimidated or constantly victimized by dudes in the life, the best case is a life spent living in a cage, surrounded by filth, and having no access to poosy.
By the way Roosh, if you ever get locked up, I look forward to reading Bang (or how not to get banged) Behind Bars.

A lot of guys here are so connected to the financial network with their corporate jobs or internet businesses (like me) that making cash upfront would definitely be stretching. If you put me on the street right now I would have struggle for the short term, but I'd probably try my hand in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher first. Or maybe a mover.

This sort of stuff is a hobby of mine.
I'm going to answer just Roosh's post for the sake of the narrative, but I'll just pick up on a few things that have come to mind on reading this thread immediately. Bear in mind I've never been to New York so I don't know how it works/what efficiency the police have, etc.
Firstly; You need to keep more than $200 in cash. I don't consider myself a big hoarder, but I have well over $3k across the places I live. This is in addition to gold/silver/valuables, and multiple bank accounts. Preferably you want bank accounts in more than one country. Domestic bank accounts would become useless almost immediately if you were a real 'person of interest' (i.e. you killed someone important, whatever. Nobody really cares about most crime.)
You wouldn't want to use cash machines anyway, because they've got cameras.
Anyway, most importantly for everyone reading, you need to practice this sort of stuff. I guarantee if you haven't practiced, you won't do in the heat of the moment. I know of 'survivalists' who write outlandish plans for fending off a swat team in their home who get mugged by crack-addled 14 year olds. Or people who stockpile loads get caught losing everything in house fires.
You aren't going to be able to stay under the radar unless you know where you're going, you've got the tools and skills to do it, and you have an endgame in mind. I guess this is what this thread is for.
I know it has been suggested by 'backpack with clothes and toiletries' but I'd advise everyone keep a bag by their door (in their office cupboard, in their car) ready to go. It should have:
- copies of all your vital documents.
- different clothing.
- first aid gear.
- camera/photo equipment. You could probably have some sort of tablet nowadays, but I don't (yet.)
- Spare phone/sim cards/micro sd cards.
Have a usb stick/MicroSD card with all the stuff that might be useful. Preferably have something to read it off. Scan documents that are important and keep a digital record of them. obviously encrypt it using a long password and don't lose it.
- Any meds you're on, have some in here.
- A Small blanket, which'll double as a towel.
- A torch of some kind. Paper/pen/something to write on.
You get the idea. The kit is hardly anything in the scale of things, but it is something we can all have ready right now. Most important are the details of where you're going.
Also, it is important to go into detail about the crime. Are you expecting to be exonorated in the future or is this an 'all of your life expat thing?'
Leave your cell behind, and probably most of your credit cards with your parents or someone. They'll be useless. If you're on the run, you'll use your spare phone with pre-paid sims, and you'll switch it off. Use postal mail to let your family know you're alive, as well as to your lawyer - which I'm hoping you have. Don't put any info in those that you wouldn't want law enforcement to know.
Change the clothes you're wearing to the least descript ones you can find/buy for cheap. You need to change your appearance; put on a hooded jumper, baggy jeans, cheap trainers. Buy glasses if you don't wear them, get a hat, shave your head (or grow it really long, same with beard.)
You should already know where you're going, preferably how to get there. Acquire some transport, and go. Don't take any unnecessary risks. Life isn't a movie, you'll get caught and fucked.
I've written this thinking you only have a few minutes. As in, your friend calls you up and says 'the police will be there in five minutes.' If you have an hour, you should stock your car and you could be anywhere within a fifty mile radius by the time the police cars arrive.
If you've got a whole day/night, the possibilities are endless.

As a former cop, I can recommend a few things.
1. The dude who is gonna catch you is almost certainly gonna be a regular old street cop. To keep them off your case, changing your appearance is absolutely priority number one. Number one is your clothing, it's the first thing a cop notices. That change of clothes you have? Put it on. Shaving your head and beard are also key. Hat, hoodie, sunglasses are also musts, unless you were last seen wearing them. Gender and race are the next things a cop notices, but there's not much you can do about that.
2. Resist getting into any kind of car. Taxis are your safest bet, but you should still avoid them if you can. Traffic rules are legion, and it's nearly impossible to drive a block without committing some kind of petty infraction that can get you pulled over. Countless crime sprees have ended due to something as simple running a red light or having a headlight out, etc. You're better off walking and staying in crowded areas. The average person wont be looking for you and wont notice you. Do NOT go creeping around dark alleys alone. You'll stand out and may get stopped for looking suspicious.
3. Tracking of your cellphone can be stopped by removing the battery, to the best of my knowledge. Also, there may be warrant requirements for this (this is a heavily litigated area of law with a lot of grey areas) but emergency warrants can be signed within hours. But you've got time to make a few calls.
4. I would buy a train ticket or something with my credit card, then hop on a bus going somewhere else and pay cash.
5. Do NOT turn to crime to finance your escape. You WILL get caught. Or shot. Drawing attention to yourself is a no no.
6. After draining the bank accounts quick, ditch the cards; they have your name on them. Ditch all ID.
7. Ability to speak a foreign language might be helpful. If you get stopped on the street by a tired cop, you can feign no knowledge of English, he wont feel like dealing with it over nothing, and cut you loose. Spanish wont work for this, there's a Spanish speaking cop on every department in this country I'm sure. They'll probably notice your American accent and know you're faking.
8. I dont know about tracking a laptop. But I would do all internet access from public libraries. Many have objected to identifying internet users on ideological grounds. Research countries with no extradition treaty with the USA and get going.

You could theoretically use your same laptop without getting traced but cover your tracks with a MAC address changer as a precaution.
Wireless hardware devices have an in-built unique identifier called a MAC Address - many free public WiFi networks use this to control your usage as most people know about clearing cookies etc to try and reset usage limits.
Changing it every so often means you won't leave a digital footprint for anyone to follow.

-Clothes on your back
-Backpack with basic toiletries and change of clothes
-Swiss army knife
-Laptop
-Cell phone (locked to your provider)
-Your wallet, which has $200 in cash and all your credit cards
-Your passport
First off: My backback will be a "go-bag." I suggest everyone get something similar. It is basically packed with hygiene items, survival items (fishing line, hooks, knife, hatchet, shovel, etc), a survival book, $500 cash, space blanket, first aid kits, waterproof tarp, lockpick set, etc. I keep it in my car in case I go off the road in a bad snowstorm or other types of emergencies.
1. Liquidate everything. I'm only running with cash. Laptop gets pawned. Go to the bank and get cash advance loans. Call the bank after I leave telling them I need an to raise the maximum daily ATM withdrawal limit for the next 24 hours because of business. Hit a couple different ATMs to get all the cash out. I am not planning on coming back to US so my credit isn't an issue which is why I would leave a couple credit cards laying around in bad parts of town on my way out hoping someone would grab them and start using them which would distract the fuzz. Only keep one card.
2. Alter appearance, Go "invisible". Invisible men are the ones that are required to keep a city running. Electricians, Plumbers, Janitors, etc. The people that you see everywhere but never remember. The people that can go just about anywhere and get through just about any security with a plausible story. ANy type of one piece zip up uniform would work the best, as you can wear normal clothes underneath and change your appearance again in a matter of seconds if compromised.
But I am lugging a large backpack, so I would assume the appearance of a backpacker. Stop by a goodwill and pick up a simple outfit.
3. Stock up. Probably goodwill again here, but you can be flexible. My bag already has everything I need, but if yours doesnt the goal is to be self-sustainable on the run for at least one week, before having to resupply.
4. Stop and Think. I am about to go past the point of no-return, it is imperative I make this decision rationally.
5. Escape. Again don't know much about NYC. I would try to blend in as much as possible will making my way south. Canada is closer but I don't like the cold and my dollars wont go as far. Mexico it is.
Getting out of a major city isn't the difficult part. If your only fear is the police, they will stick out due to their uniforms and marked cars. They are easy to avoid. I would buy a greyhound ticket out of NYC up north, but never board the bus. This would be bought with my credit card hoping it would distract them to the canadian border.
If the are actively pursuing me and know I am on the run they will have a search fan that will increase hourly based on the predicted rate of travel. Checkpoints and patrols will be intense for a couple days. After that the search fan is so huge and the trail is too cold, they would take up more of a passive search waiting for credit cards to hit or a lucky traffic stop. Thats when I make my move.
The rest is entirely dependent on the situation and skills I have. I can survive in the wilderness just fine, I would probably hike south for a while enjoying life and staying away from populated areas. That or hike west to hit a small N-S running river, steal a canoe/kayak, and run along the river as far as I could go. Hang out at a couple bars in small towns along my route and see where that took me. Maybe I could game a chick into sucking my filthy cock and then driving me south a hundred miles or so.
Stealing a car is always an option. Public transportation could work as long as it I can do it all with cash and without ID. I would keep my criminal acts to a minimum to avoid creating a trail, but would break into a couple houses here or there to stock up and food/toiletries and get some cash or valuables to pawn (or trade to bums or people I meet along my route).
Id slowly work my way to the border and then I would have to think again. I would rather not go through customs. Maybe steal a small airplane, rip the transponder out, and fly the border low and fast on a real shitty weather night where I know government agencies wouldn't be flying.
Maybe head down to florida and hunt down El Mech and see if he can get me by boat to the DR.
Then create a new identity and start hustling to create some income.

Remember the metro north. Just hop the train from NY and get to Connecticut. New Englanders could give a shit about NY bullshit. You're out in 30 minutes. Get off in Norwalk and collect yourself. Make it to Bridgeport and chances of interacting with the police are very low but the city could be a little rough. If you go to Danbury you could find someone to take you south and not even have to go though the city. Like I said before use game on fatties you can make them do anything when they're in the "Love" zone. Best places in Connecticut to find a stupid girl is Waterbury, Torrington and Hartford inland on the metro line coastal Stratford, Milford and West Haven
I would go see a good friend of mine, one that i know that wouldnt snitch on me (note that most criminals that are caught, always had someone close to them that snitched on them), ask for his passport, ask him to buy me a ticket to Haiti.
Arrive at the airport dressed in a different way from what i usually dress. I could dress like a rock star or dress like a homossexual, i think the male guards at the airport will kinda avoid you if you dress like the later one which makes easier for you to exit the country. Also, most of airport authorities dont really care about people leaving the country so i think you can exit the country without much problem if you havent been on the news yet or your case aint that big yet.
Once i arrive in Haiti, bitch there is no way they are catching me. I am getting a bus to DR and from there i will think on what im doing next.

Yes, thousands of people take Water Taxi ferry's every day. You could also take the PATH subway to New Jersey.
I trust you and believe in your innocence. Call me and I'll have an associate drop off enough cash. In the meantime, get a crewcut and shave. The downside is you'll feel obliged to teach me Portuguese on the way to Brazil.
You guys have covered pretty much all of my steps (change appearance, ditch electronics, empty credit/bank accounts). But, since the original scenario had you just escaping the arrest party, it might be a little difficult to hit the bank and dye your hair right away. Also, keep in mind that the "new" U.S. Passport has an RFID chip, so you'd immediately have to ditch that too.
I would probably hide semi-locally first depending, of course, on where I was in the United States. A lot of guys get caught trying to leave immediately. I don't know anyone willing (or, frankly, capable) of covering for me adequately, so I'd be solo dolo. From 60-75 miles away from my location, I get situated for my longer term departure.
If you guys watch any real-crime TV--as I used to religiously, for years--you can see how guys remain undetected for years and then fuck up. The most common mistake are: contacting someone from their past, going back to the place where the committed the crime, or getting sloppy and being recognized abroad.
This show is precisely about this shit. I think the whole series is on Netflix. Check it out. It's dramatized, but pretty entertaining.

Is Roosh going into post-game survivalism like Style did with Emergency? 
Anyway my escape game plan is:
Version A
* Empty bank accounts and max out credit cards ASAP. Cash is king.
* Tail out of the city on a Greyhound and lie low so that the heat can die down.
* Throw away the laptop, sell the cell phone to send cops on a wild goose chase as suggested above.
* Not going to bother with all this fake ID tricks. I haven't learned about how it works and I'm not going to do it while the cops are hunting after me.
* Exfiltrate by boat, stolen or paid for. Latin America is not a great destination for the long haul, as they all seem to have extradition treaties with the US
Version B
* Head for Russian Embassy (or Venezuelan Embassy, Chinese Embassy, even Iranian Embassy if it comes down to that).
* Tell them I was framed for murder for my political activities.
* They will be more than happy to stick a finger in America's eye and will give me asylum.
* Living the next few decades in an Embassy may suck but it sure beats life in solitary confinement / Bubba game.

I agree with laying low. If the man was out to get you, it seems to me that most resources would be poured in on the onset and your chances of getting caught would be greatest from the time of the warrant being issued.
I live about an hour from my hometown. If I could make it there (which is a simple bus ride away), there's no way anyone could find me. I know enough people that I would trust with my life and I know the back country there like nobody's business, not to mention secret alleys, gullies, ditches, orchards. It would literally have to be the largest manhunt in southern california history to get me. I'd pull out as much cash as I could and take this route. After several weeks or months, I'd conspire with my people on how to get me out of the country, and that would also give me enough time to drastically change my appearance.

I frequently hear the "escape to Cuba" plan, but what would happen once you got to Cuba? Cuba is a communist country and housing, jobs, medical care and such are assigned by the government. Even food is rationed by the state. I'm sure you'd have to register to get basic necessities of life. While their government may be willing to take in ideological exiles against the American government, I'm not so sure they'd find it in their interest to welcome convicts.
