Section 8.32.010 Eluding a peace officer.

It is unlawful for any person to elude, attempt to elude, or fail to stop for a peace officer, by use of a motor vehicle or any other means, after the officer has given visible and/or audible order or signal for the person to stop or desist from further movement. "Visible and/or audible order" includes:

2. The officer's use of police patrol car siren or flashing red light(s);

3. The officer's use of a police whistle; and

4. The officer's waving of an arm or arms.

However, this section shall not apply if a person eludes or attempts to elude a marked official law enforcement vehicle driven by a uniformed peace officer as defined in this section and in so doing is the driver of a motor vehicle who willfully fails to bring the motor vehicle to a stop after being given a visual (flashing red light) and audible (siren) signal to stop.
