This section establishes a criminal offense for obstructing Federal law enforcement activities. It makes it unlawful for a person, after receiving a verbal warning not to approach from an individual the person knows or reasonably should know is a Federal law enforcement officer engaged in lawful duties, to knowingly approach or remain within 15 feet of the officer with intent to impede or interfere with the officer’s duties, threaten the officer with physical harm, or harass the officer (defined as knowingly engaging in a course of conduct that intentionally causes substantial emotional distress and serves no legitimate purpose). A violation is punishable by a fine, imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both.
