Failing to obey a police officer is a charge that brings with it extra sensitivities because the prosecutor and the judge especially dislike someone doing something wrong to a policeman who risk their lives to keep the peace. The prosecutor believes you failed to respect the police officer’s safety and in the process were unpeaceful and threatened an officer’s safety and/or life. You need an attorney who can defend and negotiate this matter for you in a way that achieves a satisfactory result. Often, this is not an easy task for a charge of this nature.
