🚨 It happens more than people think — confusion, fear, or a misunderstanding during a stop can quickly turn into an additional criminal charge. 😔

Resisting arrest can be charged when someone allegedly:
🔹 Physically struggles with an officer
🔹 Flees or attempts to flee
🔹 Refuses to comply with verbal commands
🔹 "Interferes" with an arrest — even without physical contact in some states

Here's the tricky part: this charge is often added on top of another charge — and sometimes it's the only charge that sticks, even if the original arrest was questionable. ⚖️

Important things to know:
✅ You have the right to remain silent
✅ An unlawful arrest may be a valid defense in some states
✅ Body cam and dash cam footage can make or break these cases 🎥
