I was arrested for "resisting arrest" after questioning two young punk cops that dragged my younger sister backwards from her bedroom during a house party at her house in college. I continually asked on what grounds they were arresting me and was never given an answer other than that I was arrested for resisting arrest. It was total bullshit but the whole point is that the cops can do whatever they want to you, like it or not.
PS once they put me in the cop car and I knew they were seriously going to take me to jail, the cop in the car said "I bet you hate it when men grope your sister..." as his partner was frisking her outside the car... Real quality humans.
- MichaelApproved 11y agoDepending on where this took place, "resisting arrest" can mean obstructing. You can be charged with it if you're interfering with an officer. I'm not saying it's just, I'm just explaining that the name of the charge isn't necessarily descriptive of the underlying statute. http://www.shouselaw.com/resisting-arrest.html http://www.shouselaw.com/resisting-arrest.html
- tallerholler 11y agodefinitely.. and that's where the cops have true power. anything show of defiance or questioning can be construed as obstructing or interfering no problem...
