Tampa Obstruction of Justice

Florida Obstruction of Justice Law

Obstruction of justice is a legal term that describes all unlawful acts that people partake in to obstruct, hinder, or delay the administration of justice.  This term applies to law enforcement, courts, judges, and the government.  For example, if a person evades police who are trying to make an arrest, he/she can be charged with obstruction of justice.  Additionally, a person that gives false testimony in court can be charged with perjury, as well as obstruction of justice.  Other examples of obstruction of justice include:

• bribing witnesses
• not reporting crimes
• perjury
• resisting arrest
• contempt of court
• aiding & abetting
• threatening or intimidating jurors

In the United States, obstruction of justice usually refers to the act of interference in any work that relates to police officers, prosecutors, investigators, federal agencies, judges, or other government officials.
