Qué contiene
Resumen con IA People who intentionally try to stop a police officer from making a legal arrest would face new criminal charges. This includes actions like using violence, fleeing, or using a vehicle to prevent the arrest. If someone's resistance causes an officer to get injured or seriously hurt, the penalties become much more severe. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill establishes the offense of resisting arrest.1; using any means that create a risk of physical injury to the peace officer or another person; employing any actions requiring substantial force to overcome the resistance; fleeing from a peace officer attempting to arrest the person; disarming or attempting to disarm the peace officer; using a vehicle or weapon to prevent or attempt to prevent a lawful arrest; or engaging in any other behavior or conduct intended to prevent a peace officer from affecting a lawful arrest. The bill provides that resisting arrest is an aggravated misdemeanor. If a person commits resisting arrest and in doing so causes bodily injury to a peace officer, the person commits a class “D” felony. If a person commits resisting arrest and in doing so inflicts or attempts to inflict serious injury to a peace officer, the person commits a class “C” felony. An aggravated misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a fine of at least $855 but not more than $8,540. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245. A class “C” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than years and a fine of at least $1,370 but not more than $13,660.12 (use of force in resisting arrest) to provide that a person using force to resist arrest is subject to the penalties established in the bill.
