It's not dumb to fight this charge. If you keep fighting it, there is a good chance they will eventually dismiss it and then - no record. It's worth fighting.

Obstruction of a police officer is typically classified as a misdemeanor, specifically categorized as a Class A or Class B misdemeanor, depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the offense. This charge generally involves impeding or interfering with a law enforcement officer's duties, such as resisting arrest or providing false information. Penalties can include fines, community service, or jail time, varying by state laws. Always refer to local statutes for precise classifications and consequences.
The person getting cited for being at fault for the accident gets belligerent enough to the point where it warrants their arrest, and they resist the officer arresting them.
Not enough information is disclosed on what misdemeanor charge, or what "procedure" is being referred to. However: if it is a misdemeanor traffic offense, not generally. But if it is a summary arrest situation (i.e.: you are taken into full custody) for a misdemeanor offense, the exact same procedures and constitutional protections will apply as it does in any other arrest situation.

Per A.R.S. §13-2508 "Resisting Arrest" occurs when a person intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a person "reasonably" known to him to be Peace Officer and acting in his official authority, from effectuating an arrest by either using, or threatening to use physical force against the Peace Officer or another person, or using any other means creating a substantial risk of causing physical injury to the Peace Officer or another. The statute is very broad, and criminalizes a wide range of conduct. Merely pulling away from an officer after they have grabbed you, or taking an offensive posture (i.e., a "fighting stance") towards the officer when he/she is attempting to place you into custody are grounds for a Resisting Arrest charge. Resisting Arrest is a class six (6) felony.
