Assistance From a Gunsan Obstruction of Official Duties Lawyer | A Gunsan Lawyer Who Obtained a Small Fine for Obstruction of Official Duties

The Gunsan obstruction of official duties attorney carefully reviewed the circumstances of the client's case through the consultation.

The client was a safety manager at a construction site and had recently been newly appointed as the site manager, which placed him under considerable pressure and stress.

On the day of the incident, the client drank beyond his usual limit at a company dinner.

Heavily intoxicated, the client fell asleep on the street without reaching home.

A police officer who arrived later in response to a report grabbed the client's arm in order to take him home.

In response to the officer's actions, the client mistakenly believed that the officer was treating him unfairly and, unable to think rationally, assaulted and verbally abused the officer.

Facing the risk of punishment for obstruction of official duties, the client visited the Gunsan office to prepare a response.

Obstruction of official duties refers to a crime that is established when a person assaults or threatens a public official who is performing official duties and thereby obstructs those duties.

In this regard, the official duties of a public official lawfully performing those duties must be obstructed.

If a public official was performing official duties by unlawful means, obstructing them does not constitute a crime.

In addition, even if no concrete result of actually obstructing the duties occurs, obstruction of official duties is established, and one may be punished.

When 🔗obstruction of official duties is established under the Criminal Act, one may be sentenced to up to five years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 10 million won, and first-time offenders are also at times subject to an actual custodial sentence, so caution is needed to avoid becoming involved.

The client tried to reach a settlement with the injured police officer, but the officer replied that a settlement was difficult under internal guidelines.

Accordingly, the client sent a letter of apology to the injured officer and made a criminal deposit to help repair the emotional harm.

Emphasizing these points, the Gunsan attorney argued that the client was working to repair the harm.

Believing that the direct and indirect cause of this offense was alcohol, the client is receiving psychiatric counseling in order to reduce drinking.

The client has also written a pledge of abstinence and is voluntarily completing related education.

Accordingly, the Gunsan attorney requested the maximum leniency for the client, who is making efforts to prevent reoffending on his own.

In this case, the client, who faced the risk of punishment for committing obstruction of official duties, visited the 🔗Gunsan attorney to request a consultation.
