People v. Mathis (Cal. Ct. App. - May 21, 2025)
It doesn't matter what you've done, or why you don't want the police to stop you. Don't speed away in your car. Especially if your 16-year old cousin is in the vehicle with you.
And, if you do, and subsequently run a right light and slam into a utility pole, don't leave your 16-year old cousin in the burning vehicle to die.
