Free speech protections in the US and state constitution protect lies except in limited circumstances. This provision is unnecessary and overly broad, as existing fraud laws already prohibit obtaining benefits through deception. Creating a new offense based on specific subject matter risks over criminalization without clear added benefit. Additionally, the term βinjureβ as used is vague and will certainly lead to abuse..

This measure directs fine revenue from aggravated flight offenses to the very agencies responsible for enforcement, creating a direct financial incentive tied to arrests and prosecutions. Public safety decisionsβparticularly high-speed pursuitsβshould not be influenced, even indirectly, by revenue considerations. Funding for training and equipment should come through transparent appropriations, not offense-based revenue streams.
