Resisting Arrest Can Often Be Misinterpreted

When a person is being arrested, often times there may be much confusion going on in the immediate area and it becomes difficult to remain calm and not feel fear. Many different thoughts may be going through the person's mind and their first instinct is to struggle, run or be combative, especially if the person knows he is innocent or is being provoked.

When one is frightened or confused, clear thinking does not always prevail and sometimes the additional charge of resisting arrest comes on top of the original reason for arrest. False perceptions or faulty police work can bring about a person being charged with resisting arrest when this may not have really been the case. Being arrested can be a frightening experience and seeking legal help is much to your advantage, regardless of whether you have also been charged with resisting arrest.  

What To Do If Charged 

If you have been charged with resisting arrest in the Boise Idaho area, you should contact a  Boise criminal defense lawyer as quickly as possible to protect your rights as well as your freedom. Having resisting arrest as an additional charge to what you were originally arrested for could increase your penalties and will tarnish your image all the more in the eyes of the law. They may see you as someone who has no regard for the law which increases your chances of conviction.
