so, gc. I have a question regarding laws. My buddy got arrested last week.. The problem is, he was arrested for no reason.. And the only charge he got was resisting arrest. What is going to happen?
If he was being arrested, he did something.... and if he didnt do something, but was getting arrested, resisting, was the worst idea... thats a charge for doing nothing right there
let me elaborate. my friend didn't do anything wrong. he was in a car that was pulled over for a headlight out, and was searched. he refused a breathilizer, because he wasn't drinking, and he's pretty stubborn.. well anyways, the cop placed him under arrest. my friend asked why, while he was smoking a cigarette.. the cop didn't give an answer. he wouldn't put the cigarette down so two cops used unnecessary force and put him to the ground.
Is he under 21? Im pretty sure (not 100% or 100% if this is for every state, but im very sure it is here) that if you are under 21 and deny a breathalizer, they can take you to the station..... The whole resisting for putting out a cig, is bullshit hahahaha, but yea i dunno the technicality, but if your sober, never deny a breathilizer... if he wasnt sober, he was kinda fucked either way right?
Was he driving? That's not really clear in your posts, if he wasn't driving why would he be asked to blow? Also, how old is he? And no, there's probably nothing he can do, resisting arrest is a pretty big deal, not to mention dumb thing to do. You're not going to win anything at that point. Unless he or his family has a lot of $$$ and/or a good lawyer, that charge is prolly gunna stick.
he obviously wasn't trying to get resisting arrest. he didn't get an answer out of the cop so he didn't put his cigarette out, and it escalated and two cops brought him to the ground. he was not driving. he is under 21, lives in NH.
Yeah i heard somethin about gettin taken down to the station for refusal, but but being %100 compliant woulda been better. There has been a string of police brutality happenin around here too, maybes its the new thing. Victoria BC Police Brutality Video-Sickening Code: B.C. Mountie facing second brutality complaint B.C.
