An Act relative to high speed chases

This bill (HD 3276) makes it a crime to ignore a police officer's stop signal and then drive more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit for at least one mile. It directly affects drivers who flee police during high-speed pursuits. The law imposes penalties including fines up to $1,000, up to 2.5 years in jail or a house of correction, or up to 5 years in state prison. The key provision defines the specific speed threshold (20 mph over limit) and distance (one mile) that trigger these penalties.
