Question: 1 / 170

When does a person commit the offense of preventing the execution of any civil process?

Using abusive language in a public place

A person commits the offense of preventing the execution of any civil process when they use abusive language in a public place. This behavior can disrupt the peaceful execution of legal documents or court orders by causing a disturbance and potentially inciting a breach of the peace. Displaying a deadly weapon in public (option B), conveying alarming information on the phone (option C), and making silent or abusive calls to 9-1-1 service (option D) could potentially lead to other criminal charges such as disorderly conduct or misuse of emergency services, but they do not directly relate to preventing the execution of a civil process as using abusive language in public does.
