Fleeing and Eluding Charges in Clinton, MI

According to Michigan law, any driver who is given a signal to stop from a police officer, be it by hand, voice, light, or siren, may not willfully disobey provided the officer is acting in lawful performance of his or her job. Failure to comply with an officer’s request by increasing the speed of the vehicle, turning off the vehicle’s lights, or otherwise attempting to flee or elude can face criminal conviction.

The only case in which this does not apply is if the officer is not in uniform, or if his or her vehicle is not identifiable as an official police or department of natural resources vehicle.

Fleeing and eluding is an exceptionally serious charge, and anyone who has allegedly attempted to flee and elude should contact an attorney right away.
