In this session of “Advocacy Alchemy with Professor Ross,” we explore a case involving a beachfront altercation that escalated into arrests for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction of justice. Our discussion focuses on the legal framework and probable cause standards that justified these charges. Special thanks to @UncoveredCrimeYt for the original footage that offers an insightful look into the complexities of law enforcement in de-escalating public disturbances.
We’ll break down each charge under New Jersey law, from disorderly conduct and resisting directives to obstruction. This analysis highlights how specific behaviors can shift from minor disturbances to legal infractions, warranting police intervention and possible arrest.
