Obstruction of Justice

Obstruction of justice refers to actions that interfere with the proper operation of legal processes. This can include behaviors like lying to investigators, destroying evidence, influencing witnesses, or avoiding subpoenas. Essentially, it undermines the justice system's ability to investigate and prosecute crimes. Such actions are considered serious offenses, as they threaten the rule of law and the accountability of individuals within the legal framework. Governments enforce these laws to ensure that justice can be served fairly and effectively.
