Resisting arrest is a term used to describe a criminal charge against an individual who has committed at least one of the following acts:

Eluding a police officer who is attempting to arrest the individual
Using or threatening to use force against an officer during an arrest
Providing an officer with false identification (either verbally or by presentation of a false official document, i.e. a fake ID)

Similar offenses may be defined very differently in different countries.[citation needed]

Resisting arrest becomes a separate charge or crime on top of the other presumed crime committed by the person being arrested.

The Danish penal code makes allowance for some forms of eluding and is in that way very different from the Penal code in the United States.
