(1) This Act may be cited as the “Incremental Resistance Act”

2 - Reasons for Proposal
The punishment for resisting arrest should be proportionate to the inconvenience the resistor caused to the officer.

3 - Purpose

(2) By the s.3(2)(a) of the Criminal Jurisdiction Act, the police may charge an initial $60 fine for resisting arrest without trial, though the rest of the fine may only be issued by a court of law.
