Florida bill seeks to prevent hindering police
Published: July 20, 2021 10:59 PM EDT
With bills starting to be filed for the 2022 legislative session, a House proposal is aimed at preventing people from hindering law enforcement officers as they carry out their duties.
The bill (HB 11), filed Monday by Rep. Alex Rizo, R-Hialeah, could lead to second-degree misdemeanor charges for violators.
It would apply in circumstances in which law-enforcement officers warn people not to approach the officers.
People could be charged if they seek to interrupt, “disrupt, hinder, impede, or interfere” with the officers performing their duties, provoke physical responses from the officers or harass the officers.

The proposal follows this year s anti-riot bill.
After Republicans prioritized a bill this year cracking down on riots, at least one lawmaker wants to penalize people who harass police officers.
Hialeah Republican Rep.
Alex Rizo filed a measure (
HB 11) Monday that would prohibit people from provoking or harassing law enforcement officers or impeding on their duties. That bill is the first bill filed ahead for the 2022 Legislative Session, which begins in January.
The bill would criminalize approaching a police officer after being warned not to if the offender does so with the intent to disrupt the officer’s duties. People would also break the law if they approached with the intent to harass or provoke a physical response from the officer.
