re: #171 BigPapa

I’m trying clarify what ‘resisting’ means in this case.

The court’s decision stemmed from a Vanderburgh County case in which a man yelled at police and blocked them from entering his apartment to investigate a domestic disturbance. The man shoved a police officer who entered anyway and was shocked with a stun gun and arrested.

It sounds like you can’t even disagree and refuse them permission to enter. But wait, they now don’t need permission to enter. This is really weird.

I guess any time you want to do a home invasion just bust in yelling ‘POLICE! FREEZE!’

Well, upon overnight reflection, my opinion on this case has changed. The court should have been so broad, but the defendant seemed clearly in the wrong. You don’t shove a cop, period. Doesn’t matter where they’re going. And if you you can expect to get pounded on.
