What's the rational for this?

I mean, it's illegal to flee a police officer when you're not a prisoner and haven't done anything wrong...

philosophy of the law - that prisoners should be expected to want to try to escape from prison

murderers should also be expected to want to murder and thieves should be expected to steal


I'm still confused.  Isn't law specifically designed to discourage certain acts?  Isn't that the essential premise?
