I was sent to the Mexican US border for a year to help border patrol while I was in the National Guard. The equipment we had available included night vision, infrared, cameras, helicopters, and spotlights. Even with that, we ended up not catching a fair amount of people just because they hid. Not to mention we literally stumbled onto a few people before we saw them. Human eyes are trained to catch movement. So staying still and hiding in brush and waiting is a much better bet. Even if the person chasing has a flashlight, in the dark flashlights tend to cast long shadows and can make it even more difficult to find someone.
Edit: just to clarify. I’m more talking about being chased by an average person in the event that you’re running for your life. Someone who doesn’t have access to a helicopter or NV. At most they’d have a flashlight to try and catch you.
They should be here legally then
