Is this a serious offense?

Holding a door so a security guard so they could not come into the locker room to stop a fight. I did not do this my friend and he has a hearing in court could he go to jail
Additional Details
how long would he go to juvy or probabtion

Maybe not to jail (if the person injured don't demand), but if you're in schools or something you can get suspend! And gain a record in your expedient.

If the person apply legal charges all of you can go vacations to jail and not to get paid on go!


Jared
duh how f*ckin stupid is your friend


tealamarie24
Yes, it is. Hindering any law enforcement can result in some major problems...


[XV.C♥]
did YOU do this, or your FRIEND? Your question is badly worded. But yes...I believe that person could go to jail.

yup, he could go to jail. holding the door makes me just as guilty as the kids who were fighting - actually, more so in many cases.

depending the the details, this may actually be a felony. he may be facing considerable jail time.

ummmmm
do the words SECURITY and GUARD mean anything to your "friend"??? OBVIOUSLY if he is a SECURITY person he wants to make sure that people are SECURE so he will be a GUARD to make sure that he can protect people and enforce the law when needed

He can be added into the assault case.

Yes it is a serious offence, escpecially since the security was working there and the locker room didn't belong to your friend. It's not like they tried crashing in without a warrant.


rossmart34
Sure is. According to the "Law of Parties" you friend was now a party to the actual fight, a participant...aside from the fact that he hindered a security guard from performing his duties.


AskAStupidQuestion...
depending on the whole story, it could be accessory, aiding and abetting, etc.

He's as guilty as if he was doing the hitting.

Sorry to hear your friend is such a lowlife as to prevent someone from stopping a fight. You need to pick better human beings as friends.

he prevented the security guard from doing his job.. he allowed more damage to be made.. i dont know the proper terms for this, but depending on the severity of the damage made, he could..


Alex
That sounds like some pretty serious ***-hattery, yup.

Of course its a serious offence. It definitely would be obstruction of justice and a few other things.


systemofdef
Yes obstructing the police is nearly worse that committing the crime itself.


frank

yeah it is an offence. it's called preverting the course of justice and your friend could also be charge for the assualt. i doubt he would go to jail for something like holding a door.


Sweethang
ya it is preety offensive, but i dunt think jail is his punishment

Yes I believe it is called obstruction of justice

I think it is somewhat serious. It technically falls under interfering with an officer I'd imagine. Either way, you or your friend or whoever it was, is probably in for one heck of a hearing.

Private security guards aren't actually law enforcement officers! Possibly a civil suit if someone got hurt in the fight.


YOU BET
It might be because he was technically helping because he didn't do anything to stop it if anything he prolonged it


Justin
your friend is pretty much on death row


tireboy11
Yeah! crazy huh! He will probly get probation
