Resisting Arrest Defense Attorney
Resisting arrest is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and up to a $1000 fine. The charge is often tacked onto other charges the accused may be faced with.
However, in Florida, did you know a person has the lawful right to resist arrest if the arresting officer was without cause?
In fact, if the reason for being arrested cannot be proved in court then the tag on a charge of “Resisting Arrest” can be dismissed.
Aggressive Police Officers
There are many times when police officers operate in an over-aggressive manner. Such circumstances often lead to resting arrest charges brought against the accused.
Did the arresting officer advise the accused of why he/she was being arrested?
Knowlege Of Authority
Was the accused even aware that the arresting officer was, in fact, a police officer? When an officer is in plain clothes, undercover or off duty, it is unclear whether this person is an actual police officer or not.
