Law (general) / criminal law
English term or phrase: Obstruction
The threat to arrest for obstruction is widely used by the police at demonstrations.

Under the Police Act 1996 s89 it is an offence to assault, resist or wilfully obstruct a constable in the execution of his/her duty.

Willful obstruction of a police officer means doing any act which makes it more difficult for the officer to carry out their lawful duty e.g. stopping them doing something, de-arresting someone, deliberately misleading them, or giving a false name and/or address.

Ometanje
Explanation:
Pravni Engleski termin "obstruction" se na Hrvatski prevodi kao "ometanje", ali u pravnom kontekstu pojam "ometanje" u principu, za razliku od Engleskog, rijetko dolazi sam. U Engleskom npr. u izrazu "to arrest for obstruction", za "obstruction" se zna na što se odnosi (obstruction of justice). U Hrvatskom je ekvivalentni izraz "uhititi (nekoga) zbog ometanja pravde", u općenitom smislu. "pravde" se obično ne ispušta. Dva specifičnija primjera sam naveo dolje pod example sentences.

Example sentence(s):
  • ometanje službene osobe u vršenju dužnosti -> obstruction of a police officer on duty
  • ometanje istrage -> investigation interference

neutral  Andrej Furlan: OK, ali "ometanje" se ipak mnogo češće koristi.

obstruction
Stvaranje preprijeka (smetnji) po nezgodu (nesreću, zlo) policijskog službenika


Explanation:
Preveo bih to, kao: (Osmišljeno, namjerno) Stvaranje preprijeka (smetnji) po nezgodu (nesreću, zlo) policijskog službenika iz službe suzbijanja organiziranog kriminaliteta, nasilja nad ljidima. Primjera radi, mogućstvo stvaranja požara, primjena molotovljevog koktela, primjena eksplozivnih tvari, ranjavanje policijskog službenika. "Ometanje" mi djeluje kao slab izraz pod ovim uvjetima.

Naravno, ovo što dodah: "iz službe suzbijanja organiziranog kriminala...", nije u okviru datog tekstualnog konteksta gore. To sam prosto dodao...

neutral  Andrej Furlan: Nja, možda, ali u kontekstu kakvog navodite u engleskom bi se koristio pravni termin "assault (on a police officer)", prije nego "obstruction".
