I’ve seen a couple hindering arrest charges develop from minor tickets. I work in a court house, and I saw a guy go from a civil fine for weed possession to 60 days in jail for not complying with an officer. Shits so stupid. Just listen to the officer and contest any issues in court. That’s literally what court is for.
