yep, if a police officer yells HALT and you continue to run, they have probable cause to chase and arrest you for failing to follow the orders of a police officer.

You may not like it, but that’s the law.

I've seen posts saying the guy was on probation for previous drug convictions, and I'd expect that not running from the cops is probably a pretty standard requirement of probation.

Yet the DA is charging some of the cops with false arrest or false "imprisonment".
