Which action aligns with resisting or obstructing an officer?

• A. Fleeing from an officer
• B. Providing truthful information to the officer
• C. Completing a lawful arrest form
• D. Cooperating with the officer

Answer: (A)

Resisting or obstructing an officer involves intentionally hindering an officer who is performing official duties. Fleeing from an officer clearly fits this idea because it directly interferes with the officer’s ability to control the situation, conduct a stop, or complete an investigation. It creates safety risks for the officer and others and shows a deliberate effort to avoid the officer’s lawful authority.

Providing truthful information and cooperating with the officer are actions that support the officer’s duties and help bring the situation to a lawful resolution. Completing a lawful arrest form is an administrative task that falls outside the act of resisting or obstructing. So, the action that aligns with resisting or obstructing is fleeing from the officer.
