Understanding Protesting-Related Charges
Protesting itself is a legal right, but certain actions during a protest can lead to criminal charges. Common charges include:
- Disorderly conduct
- Unlawful assembly
- Resisting arrest
- Obstruction of justice
Even if you were simply present at a protest, you could face charges due to the actions of others in the crowd.
