Less likely to meet standards of suspicion (though of course there is always the wild card factor) if you walk, not run, to leave a policed area. “Don’t let them see you sweat.”

You can run but you can't hide. They will catch you.

Isn’t the question “may” you run from the police?

Can you run from police? According to some this would depend on what color I was. /s

in safe neighborhoods, people not suspected of a criminal activity
And how am I supposed to know whether this applies to me? If a policeman is attempting to get my attention, I cooperate.

Not usually a good idea but, you should be able to run from police without probable cause attaching...

Not sure how far you'll get, but you can run if you really want to.

people not suspected of criminal activity can ignore a police officer who approaches them Freddy had a long rap sheet. Was a known drug dealer and had a pending court date of drug charges. He was found with a switch blade in his possession.

As I understand it, Gray wasn’t arrested for running but for possession of a switchblade knife. I don’t know why this should be illegal, but it would certainly land a white guy in jail, no questions asked.

I would believe that the very act of running away would establish probable cause. If you were already running, after the bus lets say, then there would be no probable cause. However, this would only be relevant in determining what evidence can be allowed at your trial. The police’s job is to apprehend the accused so they appear in court to face their charge. The guilt or innocence is irrelevant. As most defense attorneys would say, “ I love the police, if they did not do their job, I would not have any clients.”

As I understand it, Gray wasnt arrested for running but for possession of a switchblade knife. Why was he chased? Because he ran. Once they caught him the police needed something to justify the pursuit.
