Frequently AskedQuestions

Maryland law defines eluding as knowingly failing to stop for a police officer when signaled. The prosecution must prove the officer was identifiable, gave a clear signal, and that you willfully failed to stop.

Second degree (basic eluding) carries up to 2 years. First degree (causing injury or property damage) carries up to 5 years in prison.
