Resisting arrest is basically where you're being detained, police officers say are trying
to arrest you, and you're resisting that arrest.
And it can actually be something as simple as straightening out your arm and keeping
your arm lock as they're trying to, it doesn't necessarily mean struggling or fighting or
anything like that.
It can be something, like I said, just as simple as straightening an arm or twisting,
keeping yourself from being put in a police car.
Those can all be considered resisting arrest, and the big issue with that is that at certain
times you can even, on a resisting arrest, be charged with assaulting a public servant
or assaulting a police officer.
And so that's where you have to be careful with these cases, you got to make sure that
you're not indicted.
Because once you're indicted you're in a felony court, so you, the resisting arrest will be
a misdemeanor if it goes further and you're assaulting a public servant because maybe
you swung around and you hit them.
That's the problem that you're gonna have.
