What evidence is need to get a conviction on a resisting arrest charge?
Individual jurisdictions laws may vary but the primary thing needed for an arrest is a warrant signed by a judge who found sufficient cause for the arrest. Physical evidence may not be required if there is sufficient witness statements. Some standard exceptions to requiring a warrant are, a law enforcement officer witnesses a criminal act, the probability of destruction of evidence, immanent harm to others or the target of the arrest. A warrant for an arrest and a warrantless arrest are based on probable cause, which is based on the opinion of the officers or magistrate. The probable cause must be adequate to sustain the scrutiny of a court.
