      Yeah at this point I feel like thats only technically possible, as even if the arrest was found to be unlawful, they’ll claim something else you did in defending yourself was illegal afterwards

        Meh, if it’s truly unlawful the DA will drop the charges. Until then you are subject to whatever bullshit the cop subjects you to with virtual impunity. Slap you with disorderly conduct, arrested. Or say they arrested you because you were resisting arrest.

      The slew of convictions for nothing more than resisting arrest would seem to suggest that’s outdated knowledge.

        One might think so based on real world application; however it’s true. And while true, I don’t recommend it as a first line defense.
