This answer will differ by jurisdiction. In California, Vehicle Code Section 2800 describes the penalties for attempting to evade police when they are in uniform and operating a marked police vehicle. If the defendant's conduct during the pursuit demonstrated willful and wanton disregard for the safety of the public, they can be charged with a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison. In California, fleeing from the police on foot is generally a violation of Penal Code Section 148(a)(1), a misdemeanor punishable only by county jail time, a fine, or both.

Evading the police can be considered a crime, but whether it is classified as a felony or misdemeanor depends on the specific circumstances and laws of the jurisdiction. In many cases, repeatedly evading arrest or causing harm during the evasion can elevate the offense to a felony.
