So the question is what happens if I run from police even if I didn't do anything serious?
So it's a bit of a broad question and I would definitely want to know more facts before I can
give you a more specific answer. But if the police have a reason to stop you and they've ordered you
to stop and then you're running away, it can create further charges. So you can be charged
with resisting, delaying or obstructing a police officer. It's a misdemeanor in many situations
but it can also be a felony. If you are driving and you're being ordered to stop and you don't
stop then that's evading so that's a different charge. So best case scenario if you didn't do
anything serious even if you did do something serious and the police stop you it's always
best to just cooperate with officers, ask for your attorney and proceed that way because you
run the risk of picking up more charges by running away or fleeing or things like that. So
it's best to just avoid it, ask for your attorney and then take it from there.
