This still hasn't fully played out in court. That said, the charges have become MUCH more serious than I had first anticipated. I appeared in court this morning (I face multiple charges stemming from this incident) and court was set over until the 28th.

As of now I may end up with punishment of losing the quad, 12 months probation, minimum 2000 dollar fine & suspended drivers licence for 12 months.

Moral of the story - no matter how fun, do not run from the police. (and crash and get caught)

Peace fellow 250R'ers!!
 
sounds like ya need an attorney
 
Fines totalled out to a little over 3000$
plus the cost of the quad? what where all the penalties ?
 
daaamn.... Sorry to hear that. Thought i had it bad. long story short Last month got stopped while going around the block on my buddies sons little 50cc quad. I was on it a total of 15 seconds when the cheif saw me come around corner and hit the lights. Tried to explanin to him i was just taking for a quick test ride because i want to get my son one ... didnt want to hear it. Said he was sick of all the complaints in the area. Got me for no registration and insurance (*new law in ohio only a week or so prior to this) and prohibited vehicle on roadway. So go to court judge takes my lisence and give $550 in fines. I got an atty. and appealed it still waiting the outcome. Bad thing is here the cops used to wave to us when we rode on the roads to get from trail to trail. Now all the states and cities are hurting for money so taking it out on the "little guys". I tried to be a nice guy and stop which i usally dont lol wont happen again.

Did you get your quad back at least?
 
(*new law in ohio only a week or so prior to this)
Along with the new laws in Ohio every APV (all purpose vehicle) must have tags along with the registration. The only vehicles exempt are golf carts. The bad thing is you can't drive it on the road even with the tags. It's a way for the state to generate money at our expense which I think is b.s. In order for me to get tags for an 86 w/o title I have to buy inspection paperwork, take it to state patrol outpost and have inspected and then finally I'll be able to spend my hard earned money on the tags. It'll be a while if ever before I buy tags for a four wheeler.

On a good note I'm glad you got your quad back saul. Did you have to show a title or bill of sale?
 
Took two out of town police on a high speed chase to cure some weekend boredom.
i had a buddy get into a similar situation, except he isn't too smart. got road blocked while trying to outrun them across a bridge. unlike you, he got jail time. maybe it had something to do with the quad being stolen, maybe.

hope he got a good amount of time in jail and a steep fine.... i have no respect for anyone who steals someone else's bike....

i have to agree if you want something you should have to work for it and if you take something someone else worked for well your pretty much a scum bag

I just got the helmet, goggles and camera back! Plugged the gopro into my PC fully expecting all the files to be erased - hell it was police evidence. And yup - everything was gone!!

The video was still on there!! AWESOME - you can see I totally lost them and had I not flipped I'd had been home free.
