Felony Evasion in LA County?

Question

Today my bro was charged with felony evasion after a cop rolled up on him and 2 friends while riding their motorcycles in the canyon and the cop flipped his lights on and his friends slowed down and he sped up and was caught later on. Do you know what charges he could face or jail time? This is his first offense

Answer 1

Don't ask me how I know this, but it is not felony evasion unless the cop flipped his siren on also.  I personally know of one motorcyclist who was offered the choice of eight months in prison or eight months in LA Central Jail.  He is still fighting it because of the siren.  If he is lucky then he will get it down to an infraction.
