Is there a right to resist arrest or interfere with a peace officer's investigation of a 911 call?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Williams v. Cnty. of San Bernardino, E057017 (Cal. App. 2014):
Where an arrest is unlawful and excessive force is applied in making the arrest, there is coercion independent from the coercion inherent in the wrongful detention itself, which may give rise to a violation of the Bane Act. (Bender v. County of Los Angeles (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 968, 978.) But there is no constitutional right to resist arrest or to interfere with a peace officer's investigation of a 911 call.
