A simple ‘yes sir, I understand sir, here are my hands sir.’. Resisting on the street is NOT a good idea. That’s why the devil created lawyers. Let them fight it out.
Yup, I agree. Absolutely no reason to get additional charges placed on you. Fight back because you THINK you are doing nothing alone does not help. So, later you ARE found not guilty of the main offense charged by the cop, but you are GUILTY of the fighting back with the cop. Had you behaved, you would have been NG of the main offense and walked. But since you showed your hip pockets and got the second charge, you were guilty.
