Obstruction of justice is charged against people who resist arrest or otherwise refuse to cooperate with police in a nonviolent way. It can be charged against anyone who "shall resist, obstruct or oppose any officer" without violence. This statute gives law enforcement broad discretion, which unfortunately can lead to misunderstandings, abuses or overreaching. Individuals often find themselves arrested and wonder what they have done. If you are charged with obstruction of justice, you should talk to an experienced Miami obstruction of justice criminal defense attorney for help fighting the charge.
