No detenerse ante la señal de un oficial de policía o conservación

Explicación Simple

Si un policía o un oficial te hace señales para que te detengas, debes hacerlo. Si no lo haces y tratas de escapar, puedes meterte en problemas serios.

Es como cuando un maestro te llama y tú decides correr en lugar de escuchar. Al final, podrías tener problemas en la escuela.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está manejando su auto y un oficial de policía le hace señales con una luz. En lugar de detenerse, Juan acelera y se escapa. Esto puede llevar a que se enfrente a cargos criminales más graves porque ignoró la señal del oficial.

Penalidades

Puede implicar hasta 2 años de prisión o una multa de hasta $500 por el primer incumplimiento.
