What's the foundation for your belief that they approached the vehicle with the intent to arrest the driver?

It sure isn't this article.

Turns out Voyager also established an area of the Vulcan brain that's responsible for suppressing emotions:

EMH: There's a definite neurochemical imbalance in the mesiofrontal cortex.

JANEWAY: Which means what?

EMH: That's where the Vulcan psycho-suppression systems are located. This may be the result of an incompatibility with the Betazoid telepathic neural centre, I'm not sure.

You should watch

spoilerthe new season of Prodigy.

They're probably limited by the fact that the mobile game in question is a Lower Decks game, though it doesn't sound like that's an impossible obstacle.

I've never played the game, but it appears to include every incarnation of the Doctor.

I'm disappointed that they went with Tennant for the promotional material, but it hopefully doesn't reflect the gameplay (such as it is, these games tend to be pretty...low-calorie).

If I see it anywhere else, I'll update the OP.

When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

The investigation also revealed the same vehicle was involved in an erratic driving incident on Pembina Highway a day prior.

Yeah, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.

Gwyn's rendition of "Johnny B. Goode" in the finale is going to be killer.

that’s kind of the whole point of the Section 31 storyline in DS9.

Again, no. That's not the story they're telling, and there's no episode that tries to make that point. It's a massive leap of logic to try to make that case.

All I'm doing is accurately describing the way the organization was depicted on DS9.

Only on Sunday, after everyone's gone home.

To me, "redemption" implies forgiveness, while "atonement" implies reparation or sacrifice, without actual forgiveness being in the equation. I think it's an interesting notion, if they can pull it off.

Georgiou has great potential to be a sort of nature/nurture story.

I've said elsewhere in the thread that I think there's a difference between redemption and atonement - I had the impression from the season 3 two-parter that they'd be taking the latter route with Georgiou. I think that could be really interesting, should they go in that direction.

This teaser really didn't provide any information as to whether they will, though.
