HOW VIRGINIA LAW APPLIES TO YOU
Having handled Thousands of Criminal Traffic Cases in all the Courts of Northern Virginia, we understand how critical your job and/or security clearance are to your livelihood and your family. If you are convicted of Eluding, you are facing not only significant jail time and a substantial fine; but you will also receive a Permanent Criminal Record with the FBI and Homeland Security and you could potentially lose your job; your security clearance; future employment opportunities; demerit points on your DMW transcript; the loss of driver’s license; and your future.
In order for the Commonwealth to prove he charge of Eluding a Law Enforcement Officer, they must prove:
1. That you received a visible or audible signal from any Law-Enforcement Officer to bring your motor vehicle to a stop; and
2. That either:
- a. You drove such motor vehicle in a willful and wanton disregard of such signal; or
- b. You attempted to escape, on foot, in the vehicle, or by any other means.
If you are found guilty of Eluding, the punishment can be very severe. Eluding is a CLASS 2 MISDEMEANOR, punishable by up to 6 MONTHS IN JAIL and a fine of up to $1,000, or Both! If the court determines that in addition to the above, you also drove your motor vehicle in a willful and wanton disregard of such signal so as to interfere with or endanger the operation of the Law-Enforcement vehicle or endanger another, then the Eluding charge becomes a CLASS 6 FELONY punishable by up to 5 YEARS IN JAIL!
