Prohibición de cubrir cámaras de seguridad en centros correccionales

Explicación Simple

Cubrir una cámara de seguridad en una prisión es ilegal. Si lo haces sin permiso, puedes meterte en problemas serios, especialmente si intentas ocultar algo malo.

Es como intentar apagar las luces de un salón para que nadie vea lo que estás haciendo. Si no hay luz, es más fácil hacer cosas que no están bien.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en un centro de detención juvenil. Un día, intenta cubrir una cámara porque planea pasar algo prohibido a un amigo. Si lo atrapan, podría enfrentar un cargo grave por eso.
