Eluding a Police Officer

Eluding a Police Officer

Eluding a Police Officer and Attempting to Eluding a Police Officer are serious charges. They are Class 1 Traffic Misdemeanor Offenses and a conviction may result in a scheduled fine of $300.00 to $1,000.00 plus court costs and surcharges, a possible jail sentence of 10 days to 1 year (usually only ordered in cases where there are aggravating factors, such as injury to a person or reckless indifference to the safety of others), restitution, community or useful public service, probation for one year or longer, and other possible requirements by the court, with an assessment of 12 points to your driver’s license. In some cases, Eluding a Police Officer and Attempting to Eluding a Police Officer affect your automobile insurance coverage or premium rates for years to come.

Eluding a Police OfficerAlert to All Drivers – Mandatory License Suspension
Important: A conviction for any 12-point Eluding a Police Officer and Attempting to Eluding a Police Officer will automatically result in a MANDATORY suspension of the driver’s license for up to 1 year, regardless of the person’s driving history.

Isn’t Eluding or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer a Felony Criminal Charge?

Depending on the circumstances in the case, when a driver eludes or attempts to elude a police officer, the driver may be charged with either a Misdemeanor Traffic Offense or a Felony criminal charge. Examine your paperwork closely or speak directly with an attorney to determine whether you have been charged with a Misdemeanor or a Felony, which is a much more serious crime. The information contained in this section is applicable only to Misdemeanor charges.

Eluding a Police OfficerAlert to All Drivers – Requirement for Payment of Restitution
Important: Colorado law provides that “any person convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 Misdemeanor Traffic Offense — including as Eluding a Police Officer or Attempting to Eluding a Police Officer — shall be required to pay restitution” to the person who incurred damages as a result of the violation. See C.R.S. § 42-4-1701. Restitution is payment to the injured party in order to make that person whole again in such a position that the person was in before the incident, and includes payment for economic damages (e.g., property damage, medical bills, or lost wages) and non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, disfigurement, or loss of enjoyment of life). Be sure that you fully understand the consequences of a conviction for the charge of Eluding a Police Officer.
Eluding a Police OfficerAlert to All Drivers With Professional Licenses – Duty to Report, If Conviction
Important: Some licensed professionals — doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, therapists, and attorneys, etc. — may be required under state regulations to report criminal misdemeanor convictions such as Eluding or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer to the appropriate governmental licensing agency.
