If police are in a pursuit, and both in the car have a warrant out for their arrest, would both or just the driver receive the charge for trying to escape the police?

I do not know law. However it would be logical that if they have a warrant out for their arrest then they have already avoided the law. Given that, if I were the police I would charge both with attempted escape.

It is the driver who is in control of the car. If both have warrants out for them, both will be arrested. But the passenger is not in charge. I suppose he could open the door and fling himself out of a speeding car to escape that "escape the police" charge but I don't think that would be too wise. I don't know what the law is though! Happy Thursday! :)

More often than not, both would be charged. Whether or not they both are convicted is a whole differnt story.
-
If there is a warrant and it has not been answered, the charge applies to each offender.
-
Depends on the arresting officer. More than likely both would be charged with evading police. Wether or not they are convicted is a different story.
-
Only the driver is charged with evasion. But it's always better to turn yourself in on a warrant! :)

Both are guilty. Its the same as if you drove the getaway car and i went inside to rob a bank. Both are guilty.
