This might work better if you tell us what happened.

#1-is harder to convict someone of wanton disreguard for public saftey, if the passenger made statments that driver was laying on the horn ,coming to a crawl if not a complete stop at all intersections,

#2-had no brakes, intentionally rolled the car in to soft dirt on a dead end street in a indusrtial area so driver could stop the car?
driver was in fear for his safety ,fled out of duress ( prior threats and ass whippings by the cops. )

#3- is it normal for cops to leave information out of a report that would contradict what they charged driver with?

dont get me wrong, he ran. I'm not trying to say he didnt,
he has a prior criminal record, but he has done his time for his past mistakes and poor choices.

I'm not in the mood to try to drag this out of you.

You can search for cases at www.findlaw.com

Type in "wanton disregard for public safety" and put in your area then search cases and codes and start reading.

There is no way anyone is going to go through every possible scenario with you if you aren't willing to tell the story of what happened. If you want helpful information you need to give a little more information.

Well I sure would not be dumb enough to expect others to 'do unto me' what I'm not willing to do for myself. If you cannot even tell the details of what happened what makes you think anyone will want to research every incident of wanton disregard for public safety until they stumble on one that resembles your situation?

She asked you nicely for more information, you ignored her request, and yet you are surprised that she got angry? Look lady, we don't offer advice for our health. If you want advice we we will give it to you, but only if we know what to advise on. We speak in specifics here not generalities.

The only one being a jerk here is you.

The top your web browser page should say "Free Advice" with a cute little bubble in between it....

This is a free advice forum. You failed to supply any details, so your advice from everyone here is:
"Go to findlaw.com and look it up yourself."
No one but you is acting like a jerk. As you quote Ohbullship's signature "it simply isn't that difficult", you should heed those words. It simply isn't that difficult for you to supply details so help can be offered. Or maybe it is.....

When you supply more details, maybe some of us "grumpy, burnt out" people will help you.
Maybe.
:D

No one can tell you about defenses without knowing everything involved. No one is going to sort through thousands of cases and go over each of them with you one at a time.

Why is it so difficult to tell us what happened? Why are you expecting everyone to work harder for your problems than you are willing to work for it?

This isn't being grumpy but I can show you what being 'grumpy' really means if you would like.

Since there is no general crime of "wanton disregard for public safety" in CA, I can only assume he has been charged with one of a number of reckless driving statutes and, perhaps, felony evasion. That being the case, statements by the driver and any passengers are relevant to establish intent.

Also, if he had no brakes, then how could he come to a complete stop at intersections while he was laying on the horn. And even pausing at intersections is not likely to absolve one of the felony charge of evasion.

The driver's actions put the public at risk. Fortunately for him, CA is VERY soft on evasion. And in the "poor timing" department, if he had waited a few months he could have run and nobody would chase him as CA is about to enact what will essentially be a no pursuit law ... what fun that's gonna be!


#3- is it normal for cops to leave information out of a report that would contradict what they charged driver with?
Like ... what?


dont get me wrong, he ran. I'm not trying to say he didnt,
he has a prior criminal record, but he has done his time for his past mistakes and poor choices.
And with any luck, he'll do some more time. But this is CA. If nobody was hurt he'll likely do county time with probation.
