HRS §660-23

Hiding someone to avoid a habeas corpus order

This section says that if you have someone in your care who is supposed to be brought to court under a habeas corpus order, you cannot hide them, move them, or give them to someone else to avoid the order. If you do, you face the same penalties as described in section 660-22.
