Regulación sobre la divulgación de la ubicación de personas protegidas

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que no puedes contarle a alguien dónde está una persona que necesita protección, a menos que tengas permiso. Si lo haces sin autorización, puedes tener problemas con la ley.

Es como si tuvieras la dirección de un amigo que está en problemas y prometiste no decirle a nadie. Si lo haces sin su permiso, podrías causar más problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Laura tiene una orden de protección contra su ex pareja, Carlos. Si un abogado de Carlos le dice a alguien dónde puede encontrar a Laura sin su permiso, eso podría ser ilegal y Carlos podría enfrentar consecuencias.

Penalidades

Si violas esta ley, puedes enfrentar un cargo de delito menor de clase 2.
