Flee and lose--your car
When someone runs from the law, they may think they’ll only be faced with their problems in the courtroom if they get caught. What they may not realize is there are now other consequences, as well. The state legislature passed law 271 during the 2011 session, referred to as Run and You’re Done, which went into effect Dec. 1. Anyone charged with felony speed to elude arrest from law enforcement will have the car they’re driving seized. If they’re convicted of the charge, it can be sold at auction with the proceeds going to area schools. The law is designed to cut down on the number of people who flee police, eliminating high-speed chases that endanger themselves and others.
