I have to disagree there, you fight the charges in court not on the street. Making it legal to resist arrest if you are found not guilty is only going to reduce safety for both cops and citizens. You would end up with escalated arrests were more force is required by police to make an arrest because people feel they have a right to resist, but without anyway for them or the cops to know for sure who is right and who is wrong. A better option would be to keep it as it is, if you get arrested you get arrested and can’t legally resist, but add a financial aspect where you are compensated automatically if its found to be wrongful arrest. And make the specific police force that arrested you responsible for that compensation as a punitive measure.

Yep happened to me in NC. I was driving a truck for a living and had a layover on the coast. There was a hurricane coming the next evening so all the restaurants on the beach were selling booze and food half price so they didn't have to store it elsewhere. I have a few drinks with my meal and retired to my truck and went to bed. Sometime during the night an officer knock on my door and woke me. I stepped out of the sleeper to answer the door and he wanted to let me know they were going to evacuate the area starting around noon that next day. I informed him I would be gone by 9am. He left and I went back to bed. A few minutes later another knock at my door. This time it was a state trooper. He proceeded to get me out of the truck and give me a sobriety test that said I was .08 .02 over the legal limit for a CDL operator and took me to jail for DUI because the truck was running. Mind you this was my home and it was over 90 degrees outside and I need air conditioning to sleep. Long story short and attorney fees, it was dismissed.

Its obvious they had no legal reason for the arrest, and they're to serve citizens first, not the county or city or state or federal government, the CITIZENS. So although "I don't recall" is a good legal tactic, it inherently breaks their oath to "protect and serve" the community if they are just choosing to leave out details that won't help the prosecution. Its one thing for an average citizen to help their case because its THEIR life and job and family and friends and freedom and money and reputation etc etc, but a cop who, 99.99999999999999999% of the time, won't be reprimanded, fired, charged, let alone CONVICTED for stuff far worse then this has no reason to not recall or tell the truth in what they remember; even if it hurts the prosecution because they shouldnt be TRYING for conviction, but letting the court decide. Prosecution shouldn't be trying to find one person guilty, but the guilty party of a crime that has been committed. Crimes should be found (and investigated) or witnessed, not sought out by Prosecuters or Law Enforcement. Thats plain wrong.

Resisting arrest shouldn't even be a charge. Whether guilty or not, and if guilty, no matter the severity of the crime, resisting being arrested is a normal reaction to what is happening and dealing with that is what the police are paid to do and it is why they have tasers, handcuffs and the authority to use physical force.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@oliver9089 In the very least it shouldn't be so lax. I could understand if you slug a cop, try to run or what ever. But "resisting arrest" in many cases is simply not walking fast enough aka dragging your feet. Or in this case the claim he didn't put his arms together for them to cuff him easier. Way too much of that is in the hands of the cop to just make a judgement. They can quite easily slap resisting arrest on almost any one they want. Which is funny because yes the charge to resist can stick when nothing else does.

[@ntat262]

Right if the arrest wasn’t lawful because there’s no probable cause, it’s not an arrest. They’re committing a crime on the citizen at that point and he’d be in the right to defend himself in the manner he did id venture. That drives me nuts that there’s even anything to discuss about the resisting charge after the verdict. You literally JUST ruled the arrest was unlawful. Even if they’re cops just trying to do their job, at that point it should be no different than anyone else wrapping someone up and sticking them in their car

[@MFMegaZeroX7]

The current case law is pretty clear that you can charged for resisting arrest even if the law a cop thinks you are breaking doesn't even exist, so long as the cop thought you might have committed something they consider to be a crime. The real answer if you think is this bad is to push for actual legislation changing this.

[@normbograham]

Going by that logic then if a thief with many prior convictions is found not guilty on their latest time in court then all their other convictions should be looked at as they may have been innocent all those other times! My point is that each case should stand on its own merits on both sides of the fence. That is why plaintiffs' past crimes cannot be used against them without being directly related to the current crime. On the flip side, just because the officer got it wrong this time, under special circumstances, does not mean he got all the other times wrong that are likely under normal circumstances. This was an unusual case and if it had not already had case law to back it up it would have taken far longer in court. I think the cops did nothing wrong, an honest misinterpretation of the facts.

There is no incentive for the very logical way of approaching this situation as you suggest. Either way they will get him on another bullshit charge of public intoxication, there should be no such law in any state. The system is set up to fuck over otherwise law abiding citizens and incentivize police to make arrests on bogus arrests based on victimless crimes. We need a major overhaul of the legal system in the United States.

[@Ed70Nova427]

@@mom2my3children I haven't seen a single person yet say we should be easy on drunk drivers. This was on New Years Day (cold) and this person was in his car, smoking a cigarette, staying warm, on the phone in a parking lot, in Park, with an open tab inside the bar when the police arrived. There is nothing anyone would want this man arrested for at this point. He was drinking in the bar prior to police arriving. Still nothing to be arrested for. Why does anyone still think the police officers were in any way correct with what went on next? Why do so many people want him behind bars? Walking up to the vehicle and talking to the man to find out what he is up to is fine but you can't arrest anyone for something you think they are going to do because there is always that chance they don't do it and maybe the call was to a friend or taxi to come pick him up. If this man was parked on the street it would be iffy. If he was driving then by all means have at it. If he had the car in gear (anything other then Park) then have at it.

[@Ed70Nova427]

@@mom2my3children Yes I understand. If the person is on the road driving then let a lawyer get him out of the ticket if he can but get the driver off the road. If the person is in a parking lot and the car is running and in gear, book em. There are laws in some places that do not allow police to park down the road from a bar and wait for someone to leave. I mean that's a bad law but its a good law also. I knew a guy in the early 80's that his wife would not allow any alcohol in the house. He worked swing shift and he said it was hard for him to go right to sleep. So he would go to the bar and drink three glasses of beer as quick as he could. Leaving the bar he would pull out onto the road turn right go to the first stop sign at the corner of the parking lot turn left and the second house on the right was his. He wouldn't feel the beer until 30 minutes or so later. That's at about midnight. If and officer ever pulled him over the officer would've smelt the beer and he would've gone to jail. In jail he would've been completely wiped out. So people also do weird things. Yes we do seem to be tying the hands of our officers preventing them from doing many things that would make their job much easier. We are doing this to everyone. I don't have an answer for that. Only they cannot arrest someone for something they think the person is going to do. Don't make up charges just to arrest someone. We need them to be humans. We need them to help us when something is happening. We need them to Serve and Protect. We cannot have a police force that we the people are afraid of. That is what the military is for.

It’s also good now that cops wear body cams and it’s something every patrol officer should have to wear, that way it could be used in trial by both sides and show the jury and judge what really happened with crystal clear clarity.

If he cop was really interested in doing his job correctly and 'Legally" all he had to do was to wait and see if the guy moved the car. Had that happened, he would have been right.
