Abstract: For the full text of this Act, see Warner, The Uniform Arrest Act, 28 Va.L. Rev. 315, 343 (1942).The Model Penal Code contains a similar, though slightly stricter provision.Model Penal Code § 3.04 (2) (a) (i) (Tent.Draft No. 8, 1958).2. Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island have overturned the right to resist unlawful arrest by statute: Del.Code Ann.tit.11 § 1905 ( 1953) ; N. H. Rev. Stat.Ann.§ 594:5 (1955) ; R.I. Gen. Laws Ann.§ 12-7-10 (1956).New Jersey has done so by judicial decision: State v. Koonce, 89 N.J.Super.169, 214 A.2d 428 (App.Div.1965).California required a combination of statute and judicial decision: Cal.Penal Code § 834(a) ; People v. Burns, 198 Cal.App.2d 839, 18 Cal.Rptr.921 (Super.Ct.App.Dept.1962).In Burns appellants claimed § 834(a) violated their constitutional rights.The court concluded that it was a "reasonable exercise of the police power.The rights of all individuals are subject to reasonable regulation, and on proper occasion must be restricted for the common good."18 Cal.Rptr. at 922. 3.People v. Briggs, 25 App.Div.2d 50, 266 N.Y.S.2d 546 (1966).4. State v. Kuykendall, 37 N.
