I'm trying to stop complaining...
Resisting without violence in WV. is an obstrucing charge. No different than running your yap when told to be quiet, refusing to get your hands outta your pockets when told, etc. Typically a fine and suspended sentence of 24 to 48 hrs.
Resistance by telling me how you're gonna kick my ass when I go to arrest you is assualt on L.E. Still a misdemeanor. If your a healthy adult male it'll get you capstunned and guided to the ground . Usually a fine and the same jail sentence.
Physical contact of any nature other than the initiated by the officer in the course of the arrest will generally get you capstunned, really dirty, and the paperwork won't get done until after the magistrates office closes for the night. You'll get a month with all but 24 hrs suspended in jail if there's a scuff on my uniform or I feel a little sore. If you appeal it the circuit judge will typically unsuspend the rest of the sentence and you can eat spam for a month.
The penalties for battery on an athletic official is more severe than L.E.
Second offense battery on L.E. is a felony w/ 1-3 yrs in the pen.
There's a possibility of jail for any of the above but it's unlikely on obstructing unless you really push it as we're forced to use it as a catch all; I tell a drunk guy to sit down, he doesn't; he's obstrcuted me. I tell you to get off of your cell phone during a traffic stop, you don't you've obstructed. Since we cannot jail for public intox in WV. they generally go for obstructing, failure to keep right of pavement edge, whatever you can come up with to keep them from getting killed or bothering you with repeat calls all night.
