#2200 — Obstruction of justice

Obstruction may consist of any attempt to hinder the discovery, 
apprehension, conviction or punishment of anyone who has 
committed a crime.

The acts by which justice is obstructed may include bribery, 
murder, intimidation, and the use of physical force against 
witnesses, law enforcement officers or court officials.

The crime or act of willfully interfering with the process of 
justice and law especially by influencing, threatening, harming, 
or impeding a witness, potential witness, juror, or judicial or 
legal officer or by furnishing false information in or otherwise 
impeding an investigation or legal process.

Federal law on obstructing justice: a summary. Obstruction of 
justice is a felony under federal law. While obstruction of 
justice is often charged as a state law offense, the matter 
becomes a federal charge where it involves a federal court 
proceeding or the federal government.
