Defending Against Resisting Arrest Charges

It is understandable that law enforcement officers and handcuffs can leave you frightened and frustrated. You can be charged with resisting arrest for doing something as simple as swearing or not replying correctly when asked your name.

With the help of a skilled criminal defense Lawyer who understands law and its loopholes, you might have a strong defense against resisting arrest charges based on the following circumstances:

• Unlawful arrest: The arrest was not required or was ‘unlawful. This is commonly used when the charges against a person are not valid
• Police misconduct: The police might not behave in the manner that they should behave when arresting an individual
• Self defense: In some cases, resisting arrest may be justified if the individual was acting to protect themselves from excessive force or harm during the arrest.

In certain cases where bodily harm is involved, Penal Codes 69 and/or 243 PC might be enforced. These codes often relate to assault and battery charges. In these situations, the experience and understanding of a criminal defense lawyer is required to increase the chances that the verdict will be in your favor.
