Morally right, maybe. Legally allowed, rarely. Tactically smart, basically never.
The only scenario I can think of when resisting arrest would be smart is if you're in a situation where you know you're not going to be given due process.

c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified:
(1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted use of greater force than necessary.
Doesn't mean it is the wisest course of action.
Yeah the days of some Sheriff Teasle illegally not giving you due process are thankfully gone, but now there's more legal avenues to deny you due process. Wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future III%ers and Patriots for America get labeled terrorists.In this day and age, not getting due process would probably be very rare.
Yep. Good luck proving it.Ch. 9

Maybe they should have thought of that before they treated non-LEOs like second class citizens. Read up on the harding street murders and twerp gamaldi for a recent example.Given how LE has been thrown under the bus all across the U.S., and yes de-funded in a lot of those same places, how about we try to support them as we really, really need them.

Exactly, it isn't going to be good for your health.It is basically a permission slip for a LE DELIVERED asswhoopin on the scene.
Thoughts?
Long as it didn't get called in to dispatch first. If I were so inclined, I wouldn't bet on that.Only way to successfully resist arrest is to hide the body and the evidence REALLY well.....
....and that only works for a short time.
