    A police officer can and will find anything to pull you over, so that’s not hard at all. And, of course, resisting arrest is a reason to arrest you.

      They don’t need a reason. They can make one up. If you have a public defender, your not making that argument in court. Your takin a plea.

      I’ve witnessed the “resisting arrest” tactic in person. In police interactions, they drum up as many charges as they can so the little misdemeanors stick and you become more likely to plead out. Just my experience and opinion.
