Evading and Eluding in Florida
Ok, I was caught for evading and eluding a police officer, culpable negligence , and DWLS on my MOTORCYCLE... the FHP came up behind me at the end of one county (didn’t turn on his lights for the first 5 minutes ) , he came very close to my BIKE, Dangerously close so he can take down my tag of my small license plate... anyway he spooked the shit out of me and I took him, not knowing he was a cop, anyway.... anyway, I had a passenger with me who was terrified and asked me to stop, but me being a nervous wreck at the time continued ... until I saw a 2nd police officer and I slowed down 4 him, by then we were in Broward county(it started in Dade county , fl) ... the 2nd cop didn’t come to help at all... and the first one finally comes up from behind besides me.... I realize he was a cop, pulled over on my bike... the passenger frightened, gave a statement against me and hasn’t talked to me since... the police officer... , who was a state officer stationed in Broward, wrote the whole police report as if it all happened in Broward, he falsified the whole thing ... can I use that to get out of this mess I am in???What are the rules when it comes to this kind of thing??? if I can prove that the whole police report is false... will it help me or hurt me even more because I would face prosecution in both counties? Instead of just 1? Also, I believe there are anti-chase laws in Florida … didn’t this police officer violate those laws??? He stated himself that he almost rear ended me on my motorcycle when I finally stopped…
Can I use the fact that I was nervous, and that I wasn’t thinking straight to get out of this?
I got a lawyer representing me , but I don’t like the work he’s doing . He got me a plea bargain of 6 month house arrest , followed by two years probation … and judication… I don’t mind being punished for what has happened but the judication will ruin the rest of my life … I am trying to get a property appraisal and real estate license in Florida. Does anyone know what this kind of felony judication can harm me as far as trying to get those licenses?
i got until thursday morning to take thier plea offer... or i have to go to trial... this plea offer is from the judge... the state wanted 30 days jail plus two years probation and judication...

I did not find any new law that states the police can not chase vehicles. Each department has policies on chasing, but that doesn't make it a law.
