Bill would protect officers
Wilkin
State Representatives Shane Wilkin (R-Hillsboro) and Jeff LaRe (R-Violet Township) introduced legislation Wednesday that would amend Ohio law to expand the definition of obstruction of justice.
“The purpose of this bill is to not only protect police officers that serve the public every day, but also to protect our citizens from any sort of harm,” Wilkin said. “Any legislation that protects the public and Ohio’s law enforcement officers is good policy in my book, and that’s exactly what this bill does.”
The legislation would add the specific language, “failure to follow lawful order from a law enforcement officer or diverting a law enforcement officer’s attention” to the Ohio Revised Code (ORC 2921.32) as constituting an obstruction of justice.
