Hey there! 🚨 If you find yourself in the middle of a police chase and you’re wondering about the consequences of trying to escape, you’re in the right place! Let’s dive into the details to help you understand the potential outcomes of such actions.
Consequences of Trying to Escape During a Police Chase
When you’re already involved in a police chase and you make the decision to try to escape, you could potentially face harsher punishment if you are caught. Here’s why:
Increased Charges:
– Escaping from police during a chase can lead to additional charges such as reckless driving, endangerment, or even felony evasion.
– These charges may result in longer jail time, higher fines, and a more severe criminal record.
Aggravating Circumstances:
– Trying to escape during a police chase can be seen as a sign of guilt or a lack of regard for the law.
– Judges and prosecutors may view this behavior as aggravating circumstances, which can lead to harsher sentencing.
Real-Life Example:
Imagine if a driver, already involved in a police chase, decides to speed up and drive through red lights to evade the police. If caught, this individual could face not only the initial charges for the original offense but also additional charges for attempting to escape. The consequences could be much more severe compared to a cooperative individual.
In summary, trying to escape during a police chase can lead to harsher punishments due to the increased risk, danger, and disregard for law enforcement. It’s essential to prioritize safety, comply with authorities, and seek legal advice in such situations to avoid exacerbating the consequences.
Remember, it’s always best to stay calm, pull over safely, and comply with law enforcement officers during a police chase to minimize the potential repercussions. Stay safe! 🚓 #StaySafe #ComplyWithLawEnforcement
Yes. You’ll be lucky to get out alive if you try to get away
yes, absolutely
You’re just piling on violations, that they’ll call in during pursuit.
Trust me–you won’t like jail.
They will catch you eventually so all you’re doing is racking up charges
Depending on the outcome, you’d be charged for additional offenses such as resisting arrest, reckless driving, etc.
There’s an increased probability of a catastrophic crash, property damage, or injury to bystanders which could take things from “resisting arrest” to “second degree manslaughter.”
They will get your tag # and even if you get away that time, you will eventually cross paths again at some point in the future (and it may be years down the road), and once that happens, they will come down on you HARD.
Go for it dude, they only catch 99.99% in a car chase
>Assume I don’t cause damage or injure anyone, just driving away at high speeds.
Um… no
If you’re driving your car they already know who you are and where you live and are just adding crimes to your record.
If the car is stolen, different situation.
you’ll break all the other laws in your escape.
There will be increased punishments for driving at higher speeds, reckless driving, and public endangerment. Depending on the jurisdiction there may be further charges automatically tacked on for every 20km/h you drive over the speed limit.
How urgent is this question?
You will incur more penalties as you create more traffic infractions by running lights or stop signed or specific incidents where you cause accidents or endanger people. It becomes even worse if you cross state lines or enter a school zone or construction zone. When you exit on foot you may also be trespassing on private property.
In addition to all of this you are also liable for any damage the police cause while chasing you.
You are running like hell and doing so under a tremendous adrenaline dump.
They have run your plate, figured out who you are and also your known associates and can stake them out and wait for you to show up.
Also, they have radios, air support and traffic control, spike strips and know the streets far better than you.
For them, it’s a day’s work.
It’s not as if you would obey all traffic regulations while fleeing. If you were, maybe they would only add Failure to Stop, but the act of fleeing would necessarily involve speed limit and other traffic violations.
If you use your own car, they will get you. If you use a stolen car, they will never find out who you are.
Not at all. You should run. Run Forest, Run.
Take it as far as you can!
Let me grab my popcorn.
You only live once, and odds are you’ll only get to do this once. Better to out with a bang than a whimper.
I’m imagining the OP as typing this while being pursued by law enforcement.
May as well drive directly into the wall at max speed after you’re done trying to get away
In a police chase EVERYTHING YOU DO will add charges.
>Assume I don’t cause damage or injure anyone
Assuming that, means all your stars disappeared and you got away, congratulations.
In reality tho (assuming nobody crashed), officially they would masterfully count all your formal infractions committed on the fly, and unofficially punch you in the mouth.
I must commend you on your messaging skills while driving at high speed.
They will throw the book for everything. Every trafic violations. Everything you did that put someone at risk. Every life you threatened because you drove too close or toward them. You will also get a higher sentence in the bracket. Let’s say the law say 2-5 years, the longer you flee, the more toward the 5 you get. The minor could get debated by your lawyer saying you was affraid and went in panic mode and might even get dropped.
You can’t find out if you don’t fuck around!
Go do this, report back.
If your driving then yes because your not going to be going the speed limit, so you would get hit with speeding, reckless driving, running red lights, failing to adhere to signs like stop signs or give way signs and that’s all if your not in a crash, if you crash then even more get piled on.
On foot, you wouldn’t get any extra charges if you stayed in public areas, for private you could get vandalism, breach of the peace/trespassing.
If your in a country we’re police will apply deadly force to stop you then I’m not sure if you could also get charged with endangering the safety of others (paraphrasing as many places have different named charges for that sort of thing).
Focus on driving fam
Jokes aside yes, you will pile up more violations. If you are in the US they will also try to kill you
In the bay they’ll just let you go and call off the chase then they’ll go to the news and ask the public if they’ve seen the car in the chase only for them to realize that car is abandoned somewhere in Oakland and they already in a new stolen car 🤷🏽
