Help Deter Reckless High-Speed Chases on Arizona Roads
Drivers fleeing from law enforcement at dangerously high speeds are needlessly endangering lives across Arizona.
It's time to impose tougher penalties on this unlawful, hazardous crime.
S.B. 1408 classifies aggravated unlawful flight as a felony, with mandatory prison time, for those who recklessly flee police pursuits at high speed. SB 1408 will be heard by the Arizona House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, March 6th at 9 am.
Here's what the bill would accomplish to get unsafe drivers off our roads:
1. Establish aggravated unlawful flight as a class 4 felony, class 2 if injuries/minors.
2. Set mandatory 120+ day prison sentence before parole eligibility.
3. Provide real deterrence against dangerous high-speed chases.
Email your lawmakers using the customizable form and urge them to vote YES on S.B. 1408 ahead of this Wednesday’s vote!
