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.

In New York City you have been charged with a murder you did not commit. The powers-that-be WILL put you away for a long time even though you are innocent. You were able to get out of your house before the arrest party with the following items:
-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
A city-wide manhunt is being implemented as we speak. Soon your face will be on the evening news. Police will be looking for you in bus and train stations.
How do you get out of the country?
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.
