<br />officer if an officer has the legal authority to stop him/her. Current law makes it a crime for a <br />person operating a motor vehicle to attempt to flee from a police officer, and has a second (less <br />serious) offense if a person operating a motor vehicle leaves the vehicle and flees on foot. <br />However, people who are utilizing a non-motorized means of transportation (e.g., bicycle, <br />skateboard) or who are pedestrians are not covered at all. In order for a police officer to be able to <br />enforce violations of law against these other individuals, there should be some sanction if the <br />person attempts to flee from the officer, in the same manner as if a person flees on foot after <br /> <br />operating a motor vehicle. <br /> <br /> <br />D.
