Everything the law calls for.

The last time I answered this question I answered it right out of State Laws for Michigan, Virginia and Oregon.

The asker didn’t like the answers so he or she reported it to Yahoo and they gave me another of their frequent violations and yanked it.

Stupid criminals, I did not write the laws I just answered the questions. If you don’t like the answers don’t ask the questions. More importantly, if you don’t like the penalties don’t break the laws.

So yank this Yahoo, you liberal toads.

The question boils down to one thing:

How sure you are that the person was the person doing the evading. Is the jacket store brand super common bike clothing or is it of football team from the persons nation of origin.

They have a partial plate. When they ran the numbers did the returned information match any other bikes that fit the description of the person/helmet/bike paint job?.

The police say he matches the same general appearance so thats something.

Was he and his bike found broken down near a road where these winding country back roads exited?

If the circumstantial evidence is found to be enough to convict him everything from "The other side" paragraph is pointless to me.

He committed a felony, was tried and found guilty and should be sentenced accordingly.

EDIT

It is also guilty beyond a REASONABLE doubt.

Speeding is quite odd because when asked about it most people will say it is not ok though on an individual basis people are likely to speed from time to time. Personally I never stray more than 10% above the speed limit unless it is VERY late and I am on a freeway or a straight road where any potential hazards are visible. I think the question here is whether or not its ok to break speed laws if you genuinely have the skill to do so. After all, speed laws exist to try and prevent people being injured. This guy doesn’t sound like the kind of person who drives without regard for the safety of others though perhaps he doesn’t have much consideration for himself, or the risk the police are obliged to take in stopping him speeding. I have a feeling that the slight ambiguity of the case is enough to let this guy off as a warning. Its unlikely he would take such risks again after such a near miss experience, especially after realising how close he came to ruining his life.

Innocent until proven, beyond a questionable doubt, guilty. Eye-witness accounts are notoriously innacurate, even if they are from a police officer. If they had been a conviction, then let the judge decide how severe - in this instance it was low risk, so a more lenient punishment would suffice. If it was during the day, on a busy street and there was a high risk of injury / death for citizens, then a stronger punishmnet would do.
