I am referring to this scene in the 2017 film “Baby Driver”: [Baby Driver "Running Scene" (1080p) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y59oGt2XWU) (robbery goes awry and Baby runs to avoid law enforcement)

Ever since I saw this scene back in 2017, it motivated me to run and run while tuned to the song playing in the background (Focus – Hocus Pocus). The feeling of being chased is just perfect for running.

This may sound idiotic, but I always had the urge deep within me to run like this in a public place (I live in California). Obviously, minus the crime (stealing, etc.)… just pure running and acting like I’m being chased. Would I be arrested?
