Ok but resisting arrest IS a crime. If you haven’t done anything wrong, just let them arrest you, they can’t keep you locked up without charging you with something.
Every single case of someone being convicted only for resisting arrest is a case where it would have been better for them to comply since the cops clearly either didn’t find anything else or couldn’t make any of the other charges stick.

can
And if you haven’t done anything wrong, why do we need to be arrested? What moral system says it’s okay to beat someone and charge them for the pleasure?
