Austin contended the State failed to prove he knew the specific reasons for the attempted stop. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that knowledge of the specific basis for the detention is not an element of the offense of resisting a lawful stop, only knowledge that a law enforcement officer is attempting to lawfully detain or stop a vehicle.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=170293","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-respondent-v-kurtis-edward-austin-defendant-a-d36469","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: jury-instructions"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
