The Ferguson Police Department has introduced a new law, Valentine's Law, which aims to deter drivers from fleeing traffic stops by imposing severe penalties. The law makes it a class D felony to flee a traffic stop, with a minimum sentence of one year in prison, and increases the penalties for causing harm or death during an escape. Some residents have expressed concerns that the community was not involved in the decision-making process, while others believe the law is a necessary measure to protect the public and law enforcement officers.
