Yeah, bet George Orwell would take his hat off in respect to whomever wrote THAT into law. Orwell thought he was writing fiction.

It's referred to as OGA. It's a catch-all for when there really is no real crime committed but you don't want to just let someone go.
Sometimes, of course, it is a reasonable charge. If a passerby/reporter/witness is truly interfering with a cops ability to do their job, that person may be charged with this law. Usually, though, it's a tack-on charge in the midst of other more serious charges. Rarely is OGA the only charge for an arrest.
If this story is to be believed as written, this cop will have some problems.
