HB 1076-S.E - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Requires that the officer giving such a signal to stop shall be in uniform and the vehicle shall be equipped with lights and sirens.

Declares that it is an affirmative defense to the provisions of RCW 46.61.024 which must be established by a preponderance of the evidence that: (1) A reasonable person would not believe that the signal to stop was given by a police officer; and (2) driving after the signal to stop was reasonable under the circumstances.
