I think that's addressed in Cop Land (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118887/). Excellent movie.
In the movie 'Cop Land' Ray Liotta's character (a cop) repeatedly uses the phrase "Don't fight, go right" to refer to a tactic fugitives use: avoiding left hand turns. Apparently, if you know that you can chase better.
I think it was meant as a double entendre too - referring to one's moral compass.
