of this section, see Title 10, Subtitle 3 of
the Courts Article.
21-903. RESERVED.
21-904. FLEEING OR ELUDING POLICE.
(A) SCOPE OF SECTION.
THIS SECTION APPLIES WHEN A POLICE OFFICER GIVES A
SIGNAL TO STOP, WHETHER BY HAND, VOICE, EMERGENCY LIGHT,
OR SIREN, IF:
(1) THE POLICE OFFICER IS IN UNIFORM,
PROMINENTLY DISPLAYING HIS BADGE OR OTHER INSIGNIA OF
OFFICE; AND
(2) THE POLICE OFFICER, WHEN IN A VEHICLE, IS
IN A VEHICLE APPROPRIATELY MARKED AS A AN OFFICIAL POLICE
VEHICLE.
(B) DRIVER TO OBEY SIGNAL.
IF GIVEN A VISUAL OR AUDIBLE SIGNAL BY A POLICE
OFFICES TO STOP HIS VEHICLE, THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE MAY
NOT ATTEMPT TO ELUDE THE POLICE OFFICES, WHETHER:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) BY WILLFULLY FAIL FAILING TO STOP HIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VEHICLE;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) FLEE BY FLEEING ON FOOT; OR
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) OTHERWISE ATTEMPT TO ELUDE A PURSUING
POLICE VEHICLE OR POLICE OFFICER, BY ANY OTHER MEANS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-904.
Subsection (a) (2) of this section is revised
to clarify its applicability only if the
police officer is in a vehicle; presently, the
language of the section implies that it does
not apply at all to a police officer on foot,
an implication that apparently was not
intended.
The present reference to a violation of this
section as constituting a "misdemeanor" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of §27-101 of
this article.
The only other changes are in style.
