Best Answer

Yes, in most countries it is illegal to run from the police.

Whether you have something to hide or not, attempting to run from the police or breaking free from the police is a criminal act known as resisting. It is also highly suspicious, someone with nothing to hide will not need to flee from the police.

Police have the power to stop and question anybody at any time if they suspect something isn't quite right. Running from them makes you suspicious, so they will have to detain you to investigate further.

Even if you are innocent, you will still be charged for running away because you wasted police time, resources and money on chasing you, securing you, transporting you and "storing" you in cells.
