Q: Is it considered ELUDING IF YOU GO ONE BLOCK WHEN YOUR BEING PULLED OVER? AND WHEN COPS ARE DOING AN UN CONSENTEDSEARCH
Their fingers and get the dog to jump thru your car window 4 times?
A: In short, yes. You can be charged with eluding if you willfully fail or refuse to bring your vehicle to a stop; or flee or attempt to elude a pursuing police vehicle when given a visual or audible cue from the officer to stop. However, you should hire a criminal defense attorney to review the evidence and facts and circumstances of your case to determine the best course of action. Generally, the police must obtain a warrant to search your vehicle. However, there are exceptions where police may search your vehicle without a warrant (i.e., vehicle exception,” consent (not your case), plain view, search incident to arrest, inventory). You will need to hire a criminal defense attorney to review the evidence and facts and circumstances of your case to determine if the warrantless search was valid.
