§ 31031 Definition Of Act

• •The law says 'act' also means not doing something you should do.
• •If you don't do something important, it can be treated the same as doing something bad.
• •This applies when the law expects you to take action.

You see a little kid drowning in a pool, but you don’t help even though you could easily save them.

Not helping the kid is like doing something wrong because the law expects you to act in emergencies.
