A state law going into effect this week would give law enforcement officers the power to take a person’s vehicle and sell it if he or she tries to flee from authorities.
The so-called “Run and You’re Done” law is one of more than three dozen statutes enacted by the General Assembly this year that take effect Dec. 1.
The legislation would allow the state to hold on to the vehicle until the driver’s case goes through the court system and sell it if the driver is found guilty.
