It's weird how with some arrests, people seem to get over-charged. Like the police seem to tack on every charge that might stick. Meanwhile, these people were clearly under-charged. Just felony eluding and reckless driving. There should have been a string of charges related to piloting vehicles that aren't road-worthy. No headlights, no taillights, non-DOT approved tires, etc, etc. No insurance. No license plate.

The felony charges got them off the streets. The prosecutor can later charge them with whatever additional charges the police can prove in court.

Magistrates write warrants, cops tend to write tickets. It’s possible the traffic infractions were written up, they just haven’t made it to the clerk’s office yet/aren’t showing up online?
