Uso de la fuerza y defensa propia en Dakota del Norte

Explicación Simple

En Dakota del Norte, puedes defenderte si alguien intenta lastimarte, pero no puedes usar fuerza para evitar que te arresten. Además, si provocas a alguien para que te ataque, no puedes defenderte después.

Es como si estuvieras jugando a las peleas en el patio; si inicias la pelea, no puedes quejarte si te golpean. Pero si alguien viene a atacarte sin razón, tienes el derecho de defenderte.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Carlos está en un bar y alguien comienza a empujarlo. Si Carlos solo se defiende, está en su derecho. Pero si él empuja primero a esa persona para que lo golpee, luego no puede quejarse si recibe un golpe de vuelta.
