[1] 2 - Disobeying a Police Officer

Willfully refusing or failing to comply with a lawful order, signal, or direction of any identifiable peace officer or police officer, while detained, or while a police officer is attempting to detain a subject.

Misdemeanor

Sentence: 100 Seconds Fine: $100

Disobeying a Police Officer is not something that you can just tack on to whoever doesn't listen to you. There needs to be a legal (or interest of life, death, or public safety) reason for you to hit someone with this charge. You cannot just make up a law or reason, tell someone to do something, then arrest them for Disobeying when they refuse to comply.

May not stack with Resisting Arrest.
