Is it considered running when ...

**jhensel1** · 09-02-2008, 12:14 PM

From what I hear around me is that they actually have to catch you while your on your bike (assuming were talking about little stuff not murder). Even if they got your plate THEY have to prove you were on your bike, so if you get away...you got away. If they come to your door which I highly doubt it your story would be we had a party and someone took off on my bike for a while or something similar.

In Oklahoma they have to prove you saw the lights and siren for it to be running from a popo. A good friend of mine is currently fighting a wrongful ticket and this is one of the many laws he has discovered.

nah... it's ok! you just think quickly from getting a huge fine... If he didn't catch you ... that's his problem... you are much skilled rider than him!

Well here is my story...
I was going up our local canyon Mulholland (the Snake) and at some point i passed a Police officer (cruiser, all while only markings were on the side of the car) I wasn't paying attention to apposing traffic (looking where i was going like your supposed to) so i didn't see him. I get to the top pass a bunch of people that at the time i thought were telling me to wheelie. Around the last bend at maybe 15mph behind a Z06 and a police cruiser passes me. He makes a 3 pnt turn behind me and i thinking fuck I'm getting popped for my exhaust or blinkers or some shit. After we cross a main road he lights me up. Asks me why i didn't stop for his boss...i was like who? He was like my boss back there, don't tell me you didn't see him. I told him dude all i saw was you. He calls up the other officer and after 10min he shows up. Yelling "THERE YOU ARE! I FOUND YOU!!!" in a very sarcastic dick way. I was like yeah i guess. Same old spiel why did you run from me, you telling me you didn't see me, you looked right at me...kept harassing me telling me he was going to take me to jail and impound my bike. Then after talking with his buddy the asshole left. The second officer that i saw at the end of the canyon ends up giving me a reckless. We will see what happens when i go to court. The ticket is not in the system as of yet and its been over a month. I didn't see him and i was firm and addiment about that so he didn't write me up for evading. Yeah i was speeding...give me an infraction moving violation not a misdemeanor reckless.

Keep me updated on how that goes. I got a ticket back in July when I turned onto my road, it has some "ess" curves that I like, and I accelerated through those (below the speed limit), and then on the exit of the turn I accelerated up to about 60mph for a second or two, then slowed back down to the speed limit. Radar detector never went off. A mile later my radar detector goes insane right as I'm pulling into my subdivision... sure enough, ol' smokey here to pull me over. He tells me that I was going 68mph... bullshit since I have stock sprockets, so if anything, my speedo would be reading too high. But he does me "favor" and rights me for 60 in 45. I went to court Wednesday and got it dismissed as long as I go to safe driving school.

As the famous SOW once said on the topic: "Wat,. and just wait to get fuk in da ass? Not for mee"

**Matt518** · 09-17-2009, 08:28 PM

exactly what i was thinking

**rick07r6** · 09-17-2009, 08:49 PM

i guess the question is, is it running if you arent being chased? What if you dont know you are being chased. Its not like every cop pulls someone over every time they do something wrong. i have been speeding before and the cop just looked and me and essentially motioned to slow down but i never got stopped.

I would say at the base aspect of the situation, yes its running if you notice the cop and think "shit im getting pulled over for this" that means you were probably fucking up enough to get pulled over, and if you dont stop then yes it would technically be speeding. But at the same time, why stop if you dont see lights or any other signal?

Doesn't matter if you "don't see them". A cop behind you with his lights on means that you need to pull over. Once he is within visible range and you don't he will contend you are running and call for backup.

yes but like i said before if you dont see the lights flip on for all i know he decided not to waste his time coming after me. im not stopping until i see something saying to me that i need to. im not just going to assume he is going to pull me over. if he flips his lights on after i pass him and am out of sight i have no idea what his intentions are. Again for all i know he is still sitting there.
