échapper à la police


Explanation:
La traduction ne peut pas être textuellement fidéle à la phrase originale car elle serait trop longue.
échapper à la police est assez clair pour exprimer le sens de la phrase.

"échappant à la chasse policière"


Explanation:
S'il s'agit d'une poursuite en voiture, cette suggestion (chasse policière) serait tout à fait applicable comme l'équivalent de "car chase" or "car pursuit". Veuillez consulter le site suivant: http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="chasse policiere"&meta=

Dans le cadre d'une investigation, il serait convenable d'utiliser plutôt "échappant à la filature policière". (cf. http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="filature policiere"&met... )
Bonne chance, Charles!

échappant a la Police


Explanation:
Un peu plus court que "echappant aux poursuites de la police". On dirait que c'est un titre d'article, il est surement préférable d'aller droit au but.
