6. I saw it all the time as a deputy

People would take something minor like a shoplifting charge that would have been a ticket and release, and turn it into jail time by running and assualtig a responding officer.

Or a person who runs a red light and when the officer goes to pull them over ends up running.

Or the person who gets told to leave a premises and not return, not even a criminal charge at that point just an officer trespass notice, who just has to return because they think they are right.

Or the person in the midst of a breakup/divorce who has a protective order against them and just has to show up where the other party is located. Or goes and stands outside the other parties job before the other party gets there and says "I was here first so I'm right and he just can't go to work as long as I stand here" trying to game the system and mess with their work. (For the record when I arrest you and you tell the judge you were just sitting there in your car because you were "waiting for somebody" and you didn't violate the order by parking right outside his work because you were there first the judge will toss your ass in jail)
