Question that's on our state test

[Rabbit86]

Can anybody answer this question for me? If you stop an EMT or Paramedic while they are giving someone care, is that a felony or misdemeanor and is it a felony a, b, c, or d, misdemeanor or felony?

It's a Class B misdemeanor.

Hmm, should be a felony unless they have AMS...obstruction of a police officer is a felony AFAIK, and it's more likely someone will die if you obstruct medical as opposed to police, IMHO.
