The choice is a shit choice in the first place, so there is no right answer. You have to decide what you would rather suffer. One option is to let them take you and end up kidnapped by criminals, or kidnapped by government agents and end up in a concentration camp style foreign prison, or be disappeared, or maybe getting really lucky and getting let go after being physically and possibly sexually assaulted and having your life ruined. The other option is to fight back and likely be executed on the spot, or viciously beaten and then have all the bad things from the other option happen anyways. The first gives you a small chance at an outcome that is only a little bad, while the second accepts that the worst is probably going to happen and at least let's you hurt the evil people that have decided to hurt you. Whole thing is just fucked.

Bottom line- never go to crime scene B

And if enough people choose option 2, the goons sent to kidnap people might become a little less willing to risk themselves.

Yea, but it isn't a realistic possibility. The first thing they will do is start pointing rifles at people before ever approaching them or identifying themselves and shooting people if they move even slightly during the approach. And that will stop pretty much everyone from defending themselves.

Basically live on your knees or die on your feet.
