From memory I think Germany is one of those countries.
It's not what some people imagine, though: when you break out of jail you will still be wanted for your original crime, and when caught have to continue your sentence. And while the act of breaking out isn't punishable by itself, theft, property damage, assault etc committed in order to break out is still punishable.
The human desire to be free is acknowledged and not punished, but that doesn't interfere with the punishment of crimes.
- talmand 10y agoIs the act of avoiding the authorities while being a wanted fugitive not illegal in Germany?
- halomru 10y agoWhy would it be, it's not like fugitives will report to the police because of some law. But the better you avoid authorities the worse the prison you get sent to. High security prisons are typically much less pleasant than low security prisons.
- talmand 10y agoWell, in the jurisdictions I'm familiar with it is quite illegal to avoid authorities while being a wanted fugitive.
