Understanding Resisting Arrest & Obstruction Charges

These offenses are usually filed under California Penal Code 148(a)(1), which makes it illegal to delay, obstruct, or resist a peace officer or emergency personnel performing their duties.

Related charges can include:

  • PC 148(b): Taking or attempting to remove an officer’s weapon

  • PC 69: Threatening or using force to resist an officer

  • PC 148.9: Giving false information to law enforcement

  • PC 405a: Resisting or obstructing a lawful arrest

Many people are surprised to learn that even verbal resistance or refusal to comply can result in arrest. While these cases are often misdemeanors, they can be filed as felonies if there’s alleged force or injury involved.

According to the Placer County Superior Court Bail Schedule, the standard bail amount for violating California Penal Code 148(a)(1) (resisting or obstructing an officer) is $5,000. Actual bail amounts may vary depending on the circumstances of the arrest.
