Take a look at Portuguese Beach, just north of Bodega Bay in Sonoma County, CA. It’s quite beautiful isn’t it?
Yup… Just look at that view… It’s simply breathtaking.
Yesterday (on December 29th, 2014) it was literally breath taking, permanently breath taking in fact, when the as of yet unnamed driver of a Ford Ranger pick-up truck seemingly refused to obey the lawful command of a CA State Park Ranger who was trying to stop the vehicle for “multiple mechanical violations”. Now there are times where it is reasonable to flee….
In fact some circumstances flat out compel flight…
But that does not apply when a marked police vehicle is behind you with lights and sirens activated.
In this case the 46 y/o male motorist did not stop, at least not until after he struck a milepost marker, drove across a shoulder, plummeted some 75 feet off Highway 1 to the Sonoma County beach below and died after being ejected from the vehicle.
In Florida Fleeing and Eluding, found at F.S. 316.1935, is a felony offense. It carries a mandatory one (1) year driver license revocation and is not subject to Florida’s “withhold” rule, meaning that if you are found guilty (by plea or verdict) then the Court MUST convict you (in other words, IF YOU SURVIVE, then while you will face 5 – 15 years in prison and may or may not be sentenced to a day of that, you will lose both your driver license and your civil rights as you ear the title of “convicted felon”).
