Statistics show that hundreds if not thousands die each year due to police pursuits and thousands more are injured. It’s never a wise idea to run from the police. Not only are you damaging your case in the eyes of a judge, but you are endangering yourself as well as the law enforcement officials that are doing their jobs; not to mention the countless innocent civilians that could be injured or killed in any car accident resulting from a high speed car chase.
