I've heard that the US Supreme Court has said that resisting arrest charges can only be pressed if another charge is as well... For example, if someone is arrested for throwing a brick through a store window and they resist arrest (say by running away from the cop), but then the prosecutor decides not to press charges on the vandalism (due to insufficient evidence or whatever), then the resisting arrest charge has to be dropped as well. Does anyone know if that's the case? I've been unable to find any info either way... 208.247.73.130 02:08, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
