For fucks sakes, I don't want to be the asshole that begins ands every question in interrogation with a taser, and never answers questions about why you're being questioned but you gotta meet me halfway here. Chances are, I just want to know where you are to corroborate a story and running away is also likely fucking someone else over as well
Because half the time people may have stuff on them which may either get them brigged for a while or it be stolen / confiscated by Sec. The other half is that people really don't want to bother spending part of their round dealing with security, whether it be a simple search or questioning, or full brig time whatever.
I actually fall into both of these sometimes. If I'm making an autist fort in maint, I'll have boxes full of circuit boards to build my own science lab. Not every Sec officer is just going to let you have them, and will either brig you / confiscate them.
On the other side as well, I've had a round where the cameras in xenobio weren't working / someone else cut them, I forget which. The AI then summons the entire security force to Xenobio, at which point I just fucking decide to hold out in Xenobio as long as possible by walling it off and eventually retreating into the slime cages with my pet slimes.
Now, I do actually try to make Sec officers lives easier by handing myself in or just letting them search me if there isn't any issue that's going to be a problem, so don't take from this that I'm always uncooperative, I just don't enjoy having to put up with Sec Officer Pubbie's first day on the job, cracking down on space law and confiscating ANYTHING that people have on them.
tl;dr
It's more fun in the long run I guess.
