Can I be arrested for refusing to respond to a police officer?

Legally, you cannot be arrested for refusing to respond to a police officer, but it depends on the circumstances. Why is the police officer handling you? If it's because they believe you've committed a crime, then you can be arrested. If not, then technically you can't. However, as we all know in the real world, if you don't respond to a police officer who is telling you to, "Stop," or "Come here," in all likelihood you're going to end up in the bracelets.
