Does anyone know if after 2020 updates for GA Code § 40-6-395 for fleeing and eluding if probation is possible? Long story short it was a situationship with the mother of my 2nd child, when I arrived at her house the police were already waiting for me. I stopped the car and stayed in it as I was being told to get out, I was processing what was all going on, had I had the chance I would’ve gotten out as I wouldn’t have willingly tried to flee, I mean I’m in a 2009 ford focus I’m not getting far. I didn’t attempt to flee also note I was recently diagnosed to have mild anxiety, before I could even try to get out I got pepper sprayed from a blind spot and had a baddddddddd reaction and panicked under the distress and put the car in reverse and drove about 40 ft until I hit a parked un-registered car do to my vision being impaired. I then got out and walked over to a grass area to rub my eyes out and that is when I was apprehended, it was not my intention to flee. I was already overwhelmed seeing all the officers and lights but I was stopped, it was when I got pepper sprayed that I panicked, keep in mind the anxiety. Will I still be seen as willingly trying to flee in that situation? Out of fear and instinct I only naturally wanted to distance myself but I was not going to make them have to chase me and it was not my first intention when stopped.

Side note this in Clayton county, What I’m looking to is if probation is possible. I’m currently in a recovery program for substance abuse & homelessness, it’s also a work program as well, will help me find employment, have stable housing and most importantly be sober. jail would really mess the program up for me, it would in fact mess up my whole recovery as in if I go to jail I get kicked out the program and will be back in a homeless situation.
