It is understandable that a person could panic when pulled over by the police and try to leave the scene. Unfortunately, no matter how understandable it might be, it is still against the law to evade police.

We Will Work to Find the Weaknesses in the Prosecution’s Case

The first thing we will do is to look for any weaknesses in the case of the prosecution. Remember that Attorney Fell worked for nearly 20 years as an Orange County Senior Deputy District Attorney. He instructed both police and prosecutors on how to deal with evidence for a variety of crimes. The result? He is skilled at knowing how they look for evidence, how they build a case, and what tactics they might use to make their case appear stronger than it is.

The Prosecution Must Prove All of These Elements

Know that the prosecution cannot simply show a video of you driving away from a DUI stop to have proven their case. They actually have to prove numerous elements, including:

• You had the specific intent to evade the police officer
• The vehicle of the police officer was distinctively marked
• The officer in question was uniformed
• There was at least on red light flashing on the officer’s vehicle
• The siren was in use by the officer

If any of these points are in question, then the prosecution has not proven their case, and we can work to have it dismissed or otherwise resolved before you ever go to trial.

It is Important to Have an Experienced Attorney on Your Side

The truth is that police and prosecutors generally do not appreciate it when people evade police. They may take it as a test of their powers and may prosecute you more aggressively for the DUI than they otherwise would have. For this and other reasons, it is essential that you work with an experienced DUI attorney to fight this charge.
