How To Beat An Evading Arrest Charge! A Former DA Breaks Down 3 Common Defenses! (2021)

[@natalianatasha-nikitaescov3147]

I was separated from my spouse and had to pick up my things to take to my place. 911 was called but I wasn't aware, due to spouse outside telling me that I could not come in to claim my items and my pet. He said to leave. I did as he said to me, "leave:. When I went to pick up my neighbor so he could be there as a witness with me. I was about 2 blocks away in a rental property. When I parked at my neighbors driveway, which he and another neighbor were outside at that time. All of a sudden tons of cops showed way after I had parked and said that I was arrested. The neighbors knew and saw that the police had no lights or sirens on. I was arrested for evading arrest. The police had weapons about 6 aimed at me, I found out that they were told I was armed, which was a lie. I was moving my items out of spouse's home back to my rental. I had to pay so much out of pocket humiliated being arrested and due to COVID courts have been postponed and this happened DEC 2018 and we are now in Mar 2022. I hired 2 attorneys 1st one was not licensed to practice law had a web page online and he took my money saying he would represent me also took monies for a divorce I filed. He never did follow through only taking my money. Found out that he said that it was dropped etc...etc..then the police came home after a year I came back to spouse to work things out and I was arrested again, because they said I never showed up for court. Had to hire another attorney, which was a referral from my veteran doctor and I still wait for something that I have charged with and was not aware they were chasing me. No speeding or traffic violation. It was only around the corner and I am still facing these charges and the stress has been so much to deal with. My spouse passed away and if he was the one to make call to get me to leave then he is gone and since the amendment stating "facing my accuser" cannot be possible because my husband died. HOW CAN I GET THIS NIGHTMARE out of my life. I am told to wait. and wait and wait...this is 4 years after. What should do?

Does one have to have a charge against them to evade arrest from?

[@jwhome9319]

No.

[@1goldbaby]

@jwhome9319 well how can one " evade arrest if they don't have a charge against them to get arrested for?

[@Sierrz]

Can they still try to charge me if I’ve been talking to the police and fbi the whole time?

[@josephmoya7835]

I live in San Angelo. I've been fighting my only felony conviction of evading arrest in a motor vehicle for 4 years now. The laws ridiculous. I've done 5months jail time. 6 months rehab time in a correctional facility and now my probation has been revoked for Marijuana only!!! Mind you this I'm only a pot smoker, so this is lame. I'm on bail right now. I got 2000$ for a lawyer right now. An undercover cop pulled his gun on me and told me to step out the car. It's been 4 years and I strongly believe he didn't address himself as a peace officer at all! I want to fight it bro. F these law folk putting good hard working people like me behind bars for wrong doing. I want to argue they don't have a dash cam so it's only he and me say. I didn't hurt anyone or destroy anyone's personal belongings by the way!

See if your family will help you get the best defense lawyer possible. And maybe consider giving up weed altogether? It's really more trouble than it's worth, and most employers drug screen. Unless it's for medical purposes, just leave that alone!

I know it's been 10 months I hope you're doing okay as I'm dealing with a same charge in florida. I have always been a hard working man that respects law. I got scared one night when the police flipped their lights on kept driving for about 20 seconds before i pulled over and went into a wawa parking lot and pulled over. Got a felony for fleeing. It has taken a huge toll on my life

[@drewapple9681]

My son was charged with this but he said I didn’t see the police and when he was behind him. He pulled over but he was going fast and didn’t see him when he did he pulled over. He just got this and we have not got video yet and just hired an attorney. He is 22never been in trouble 2 associate degrees. Just stupid and young. They said the da is hard on running he will probably have to do a little stay in jail. I hope not.

Did you get away or did they get your plates and came to find you after ?

[@MisterMikeTexas]

What will go a long way toward avoiding being in such fixes in the first place is watch the life choices you make, and activities you choose to engage in. Yes law-abiding citizens get arrested all the time, but you'll still mitigate your chances of getting arrested by avoiding illegal activities.

[@zMischeivous]

Thanks for the profound insights.

[@envisionCamusa]

Please ignore the wise ass, Life choices are a phenomenal determination on how your life goes. Finish high school, avoid premarital pregnancy, avoid arrest, spend less than you earn, set financial goals, clearly define needs vs wants.

[@joelfranco4946]

Dude shut up

[@Waltliquor1075]

But how about if they are in a black vehicle and they didnt put their lights...and just said..hey hold up...hold up, you were about to run...took 2 steps and finally saw they were police...but still charged you with flight to avoid apprehension...he didnt know they were cops nor they said they were cops...just grabbed him and said he detained 2:00

[@liamgio795]

So, if someone leaves a traffic detention, it’s not evading an apprehension, right? As a detention is not an arrest, I like to call it motor vehicle equipment not motor vehicle, but that me?

[@amerikanviking]

Sounds to me like we aren't free anymore. Stop or go to prison. I was charged without evidence of evading. Lovely.

[@TreehouseClubExoticz]

My car was used in a police pursuit in 2 Separate occasions and got away from police both occasions within the same hour but no one was caught but my things (ID,MDOT paperwork, title, a old iPhone) we’re in the car. 1-2 weeks later all while I’m in contact with police saying idk what’s going on I think my car was stolen I ended up being arrested at the precinct with the police told me I could come and get my car released if I sign some paperwork… I am now fighting 2 counts fleeing and eluding, 1 resisting arrest, 1 obstruction of Justice did a bit of jail time. I had a bit of video footage where state troopers asked some of the other officers did they see who was in the car they said no😑 they are trying to use my ID being in the car as evidence so far to my knowledge… best part about this is video evidence from the chase some how got corrupted and they don’t have it 😑

[@adolfhitler8260]

I’m in the same situation bro how did your case go ?

[@jwhome9319]

tell the cops who was driving your car on both those occassions. I know his name: "some dude"

[@marywilliams8316]

Can they make it aggravated and if they do make it agg ,once they send you to TDCJ is it possible to get the agg dropped? My son recieved 25 aggravated charge out of Montgomery County Jail . Is there any thing I can do to help him get the aggravated dropped ?

[@smoove35251]

Might have to plea out if guilty

[@slimmhooper235]

Even if the ag is dropped in court,parole picks it back up 100% of the time. It’s a ploy when they say they will drop the agg to get you to sign. Plus Montgomery county is horrible place to get agg charge. Lucky he didn’t get 99

[@Maroboyy_2Ss]

is jail time mandatory if the lawyer is good enough if its a felony maybe get it reduced? 1st evading accusing

[@fulghamlawfirm2254]

jail is not mandatory and an experienced criminal attorney may be able to get it reduced. Be careful who you hire to make sure they have results for this type of case.

then they will probably crash and not be able to do evasive driving

[@Joshua-nn6dz]

If your lawyer can only get you prison time on 1 offense. Your lawyer played you. I’ve seen people with higher bonds than me and have done less severe crimes.

[@cesargonzalez1521]

So I’m 19 and ran in my car. I got caught and fixing to go it court. I’m in a good college and could potentially ruin that for me. What’s my best route?

[@fulghamlawfirm2254]

Your best option is to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney. You certainly do not want to take a plea of guilty that results in a conviction. Probation is hopefully your worst case scenario but you need to make sure it is not a conviction and you can get everything removed from your record. I hope this helps! Call us if we can be of assistance!
