Yep. And that's what you can get charged with, even if you had done nothing to warrant being arrested in the first place. Just ask the San Jose police force - they use this to clear the downtown streets of undesirables late on Friday and Saturday nights. Something around half of those charged (around two to three times as many as in other comparably-sized cities) have "resisting arrest" as the only thing on the charge sheet. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
