Strategic And Effective Defense Against Florida Resisting Arrest Charges

For many people, getting arrested is shocking. People may unintentionally pull their hands away from a police officer or take a step back. Any movement that could be construed as an attempt to object to what is taking place can lead to an additional criminal charge of resisting arrest.

These charges may actually be used to cover up police brutality. In many cases where police use a Taser, beat someone or otherwise injure someone during an arrest, that person will be charged with resisting arrest to cover up police misconduct.
