A person who violates this article is guilty of a civil infraction, unless such violation constitutes a felony as set forth under the laws of the State of Michigan. 7/27/26, 10:12 AM Mayville, MI Code of Ordinances about:blank 150/202 (c) (d) (a) (b) (1) The operator of a snowmobile who is given a visual or audible signal by hand, voice, emergency light or siren, by a uniformed law enforcement officer who is acting in the lawful performance of his or her duties, which directs, the operator to bring his or her snowmobile to a stop, shall do so. An operator shall not willfully fail to obey the directives by increasing his or her speed, extinguishing his or her lights or otherwise attempting to flee or elude the law enforcement officer. If a law enforcement officer has reasonable cause to believe that a person was, at the time of an accident the operator of a snowmobile involved in the accident and was driving the snowmobile while under the influence of alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance or a combination thereof, the police officer may arrest the alleged operator of the snowmobile without an arrest warrant. A snowmobile operated contrary to or in violation of any provision of this article or Public Act 58 of the Public Acts of Michigan 1995, as amended, by someone other than the owner of the snowmobile, who can/prove such ownership, or any snowmobile operated with defective equipment, may be confiscated at the direction of a law enforcement officer. In the event a snowmobile is confiscated, the owner of the snowmobile must prove ownership of the snowmobile and pay any and all costs associated with the transportation, towing and storage of the snowmobile before it will be released to him or her.
