What is Obstructing Legal Process?

The following are some of the common types of obstructing justice allegations:

• Witness tampering
• Escaping custody
• Falsely reporting a crime
• Resisting arrest
• Interfering with an investigation
• Tampering with evidence

One investigators are looking for is an act that that interferes with legal processes --- like fleeing a police officer, escape, warning someone that they are being investigated, giving police a fake name, etc.

Penalties

The penalties depend on the severity of the crime, such as the amount of violence or force that was used during the obstruction action. The resulting consequences can be significant fines and jail time, but the lifelong effect is in the criminal record that is established.
