Theological note: The measure bears on protecting officers and bystanders from reckless flight, a matter of neighbor-love and civil order under general equity. Its mandatory minimum and immigration consequences raise questions of proportion, due process, and fair treatment of non-citizens that deserve careful review. This summary identifies issue relevance only and is not a final candidate judgment.
