Interfering with police is defined by which statute?

• A. 14-299
• B. 14-283a
• C. 14-18a
• D. 53a-167a

Answer: (D)

Interfering with a police officer is a crime defined in the state Penal Code, specifically creating the offense of obstructing or hindering an officer who is performing duties. The statute that fits this definition is the one that explicitly codifies interfering with an officer in the line of duty, covering actions that obstruct, delay, threaten, or use force against an officer while they’re doing their job. That precise language is why this option is the best answer: it directly defines the prohibited conduct and ties it to police performance of official duties.

The other statutes point to different offenses and do not define the act of interfering with a police officer in the course of their duties, so they don’t fit the question.
