Court upholds a persons right to legally resist an illegal arrest.

[pknopp]

An interesting note in another ruling against the police. I have often argued it is legal to resist an illegal arrest. The judge clearly notes this is fact.


Ellis also said it's settled law that, based on rulings from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that individuals are within their rights to resist an unlawful arrest, and that any force used to effectuate a false arrest is by definition excessive force.

Yeah, cop pulls you over, you go ahead and 'resist'......dummy.

You can address what is actually claimed or mindlessly rant. I know which way you will go.

Sure, but the courts are saying the same about law enforcement.

I did, I presented a scenario based on your op. How does resisting arrest work in your mind? You said it's OK to resist an illegal arrest. You can spout all the legalize you want when the cop pulls you over but, at that point he is the law. Not you. Take the ticket, go to court and claim innocence, that's the way it works.

Resisting an armed person has its perils.

I did, I presented a scenario based on your op.

No you didn't. You presented a vague general situation. I never claimed you can resist any and all arrests. But you know this.

You had best not resist, but stand your ground in front of a judge. Cops may not tase you, they may blow you away. Whether right or wrong, you may be just as dead.

No, it's for everyone BUT again, I have no desire to further address your dishonest replies.

You said: "it is legal to resist an illegal arrest." How do you know it's an 'illegal arrest?' Your OP is vague at best.

resisting isnt always a physical act,,,

So, a cop pulls you over, you resist. At that point you're gonna get a take-down, handcuffs, maybe tazed or even shot if you resist to the point they have to do that.
