In this episode of Advocacy Alchemy, Professor Ross examines a unique case where a passenger’s defiant reaction during a DUI stop led to unexpected consequences, escalating into a full obstruction charge. Titled “Riding with Trouble,” this session delves into Ohio’s laws on obstructing official business, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and OVI (Operating a Vehicle under the Influence). Through an in-depth legal analysis, Professor Ross provides a valuable breakdown of these statutes and their real-world applications, exploring how officers’ discretion plays a role in law enforcement and public interactions.
This lecture offers an educational perspective on law enforcement protocols, citizens’ rights, and the legal principles that govern roadside encounters, equipping viewers with insight into the law in action.
