**Opinion**
No surprise here, considering the justices in the high court. By the way, I also disagree, unless the crime initially involved violence or the driver had weapons (then maybe an attempted charge may fit). Or, maybe in the process of fleeing, a suspect used their vehicle in a violent destructive manner (as a weapon). Otherwise, is it a violent felony to evade law enforcement by foot!? I think not, depending on your municipality.
