2016Citing the legislative history, the State asserts that the statute’s intent was to punish people who knowingly flee from the police, and, therefore, the uniform requirement can only be read as a way to exclude those trying to escape a dangerous situation, not as a bar on prosecution of people willfully fleeing the police. ¶ 13 In resolving an issue of statutory construction, the court’s objective involves ascertaining and carrying out the “true intent and meaning of the legislature evidenced by the language used.” Langendorf v. City of Urbana, 197 Ill. 2d 100, 109 (2001).

2020Although the Cavitt court noted that the purpose of the uniform requirement was that it ensured that a defendant was fleeing or eluding an actual police officer (Cavitt, 2019 IL App (2d) 170149, ¶ 181 , appeal pending, (Jan. 1, 2020)), the issue of whether a conviction for aggravated fleeing or eluding a peace officer could be upheld with no evidence that the peace officer was wearing a police uniform was not before the Cavitt court.
