[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 232384, member: 6326"] Our newsstations did only broadcast [URL="http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ac919c2640"]the video clip[/URL] where a woman is lying on the ground while she is being tasered. Are they not used to seek complience once being arrested? I understand that resisting arrest is defined in another way. A Danish citizen was convicted of resisting arrest arriving in Miami on a plane defending herself against a flight attendant who bend a little too far in over her breasts, so she felt that she had to push him away. (The internal investigation in the airline company resulted in the company being sold because they owners wouldn't have anything to do with it.) While the original charge was about assulting the flight attendant they ended up convicting her of resisting arrest which was odd because she can hardly walk due to injuries caused by a truck hitting the car she was passenger in. Here in Denmark people are expected to protest their innocence loadly or they would look guilty in the eyes of the public regardless of the outcome in court. Our penal code does also allow the person to be arrested to sit down in order to make it more difficult to arrest him without calling it resisting arrest. They made it very clear that some eluding behavior should be allowed when the new anti-terrorist laws were made where the police can detain everyone without charging them for 6 hours in order to prevent future possible crimes. Just yesterday they did arrest 75 people looking like their etnic origin was from the middle east and released them 6 hours later (The latest conflict in the Gaza strip has resulted in protest where property is destroyed, so they are running around arresting people who might look like they would start an unannouced protest anytime. All protested have to be reported in advance to the police. Otherwise it is illegal and the police has the right to arrest everyone in the neighborhood.) Are the resisting arrest charge being used as a backup if the original charges don't hold up in court? [/QUOTE]
