HB 1433 -- Interfering with Detention or Stop

Co-Sponsors:  Monaco, Kelly (36), Bonner, Burton

This bill creates the presumption that a person is fleeing a
vehicle stop if the person continues to operate a motor vehicle
after seeing emergency lights or hearing a siren from the law
enforcement vehicle that is pursuing the person.  The bill also
adds resisting or interfering with a detention or stop to the
current crime of resisting or interfering with arrest.  Resisting
or interfering with an arrest, detention, or stop is a class D
felony.  Currently, resisting or interfering with an arrest for a
felony is a class D felony, otherwise it is a class A
misdemeanor.
