Georgia Obstruction of Justice Attorney – Ryan Walsh Legal

The offense of obstructing justice or obstructing a law enforcement officer under Georgian criminal law is the predominant charge under Georgian law. Unless the disability falls into one of the two categories of criminal offences, the behavior established as a disability is considered a misdemeanor. Common examples of misdemeanor obstruction of justice include running away from the scene of an investigation or arrest, resisting an arrest that does not reach crime level, arguing with the officer, or lying to the officer.

For obstruction of justice to be a criminal offense under Georgian law, one of two types of conduct must be present. The first type of conduct that is considered obstruction under Georgian law is obstruction in a manner that involves the threat or perpetration of violence against the officer. Actual violence can only be assault or assault under Georgian law. You can also be charged with an offense of obstruction of justice if you throw a project or blood, urine, faeces, vomit or semen at a law enforcement officer.
