Penal Code §148(a)(1), resisting / obstructing / delaying a peace officer engaged in the lawful performance of his/her duties, or these days, if they really beat you up badly, for violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69; felony resisting officer with threat of, or use of force and violence.If you have been the victim of Excessive Force by a police officer, please check our Section, above, entitled: “What To Do If You Have Been Beaten-Up Or False Arrested By The Police“.
