Resistencia a la autoridad y obstrucción de funciones públicas

Explicación Simple

Si alguien impide que un policía o un paramédico haga su trabajo, puede enfrentarse a una multa o cárcel. Es como si alguien interrumpiera a un maestro cuando está enseñando; eso no está bien y puede tener consecuencias.

Es como cuando intentas ver una película, pero alguien se pone enfrente y no te deja ver. Si sigues molestando, podrías ser sacado de la sala.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en una fiesta y un oficial de policía llega a hacer una revisión. Si Juan comienza a gritar y empujar al oficial para que se vaya, podría ser arrestado y enfrentar una multa o tiempo en la cárcel.

Penalidades

Multa de hasta $1,000 o cárcel de hasta un año, o ambas.
