Question

Which of the following is an element of resisting an Officer?

1) Lying while being interviewed
2) Fleeing while being placed under arrest
3) Both of the Above
4) Neither of the Above

Answer 1

Both lying while being interviewed and fleeing while being placed under arrest are elements of resisting an officer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resisting an officer refers to the act of intentionally obstructing or opposing a law enforcement officer in the performance of their duties. Both options 1) lying while being interviewed and 2) fleeing while being placed under arrest are considered elements of resisting an officer.

Lying during an interview with the police or falsely providing information can hinder their investigation, while fleeing from an officer who is attempting to make an arrest constitutes active resistance. Therefore, the correct answer is 3) Both of the Above.
