Disobeying a peace officer's order to move from a location constitutes which offense?

• A. Obstructing Highway or Other Passageway
• B. Picketing
• C. Official Oppression
• D. Misuse of Official Information

Answer: (A)

The act being tested is about intentionally hindering the movement of people or vehicles in a passageway that the public uses. When a peace officer orders someone to move and that person refuses, they may be blocking a street, sidewalk, doorway, or other route a crowd needs to pass through. That hesitation to vacate creates an obstruction, which is exactly what obstructing a highway or other passageway prohibits. The other options don’t fit because picketing is a protest activity that isn’t, in itself, an obstruction, and official oppression or misuse of official information involve different types of misconduct by government officials rather than disobeying a lawful order to move.
