Is it against the law if you fail to comply with a law enforcement officer?

Answered by Reid Breitman. This is for information only and you should consult a lawyer before relying on anything on the internet. It is dangerous to your health not to comply with a law enforcement officer. Having said that, I think the law is that one must comply with any lawful order or instruction given by a law enforcement officer. So if an officer tells you to go kill someone, or a bad cop orders a driver to provide sexual favors, obviously those are not lawful orders and they can be disobeyed. But unless one is absolutely certain that the order of a law enforcement officer is unlawful, it is safer to follow it. You might not know the underlying reasoning for the order, and the officer might not have the time to explain it to you, or might not be at liberty to explain because that could divulge confidential or sensitive information. Sometimes, you just have to trust law enforcement officers to know what they are doing. But the best way to say it is "I'd rather be wronged and alive, than right and dead."
