Obstruction is a broad crime that may include acts such as perjury, making false statements to officials, witness tampering, jury tampering, destruction of evidence, and many others.
At its core, obstruction of justice, involves any act that interferes with the proper functioning of the legal system or the investigation of a crime. This interference can manifest in various forms, such as witness tampering, destruction of evidence, lying to investigators, or obstructing court proceedings.

Resisting arrest is one of the most common forms of obstruction of justice. Anyone who obstructs or resists a law enforcement officer trying to perform their duties has technically resisted arrest. The severity of the punishment depends on whether the person used violence in their resistance.
