What the Cited Laws Carry
Penal Code § 626.8 applies to a person entering the Sequoia High School campus in Redwood City without lawful business and remaining after being asked to leave only under the statutory conditions concerning interference or disruption of school activities, and it carries up to six months in county jail and a $500 fine, according to Justia Law. Under Health and Safety Code § 11550, the ordinary offense is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and up to five years of probation, without a general mandatory minimum of 90 days, per FindLaw. A 180-day minimum applies only to certain repeat offenders who refuse a court-offered rehabilitation program.
Penal Code § 148(a)(1) applies to anyone who willfully resists, delays, or obstructs an officer performing lawful duties, and it does not require physical violence to apply — merely failing to comply during a detention can qualify, according to Eisner Gorin LLP. That charge carries up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
