Re: Being a bit of a Devil's Advocate...
"You, reasonably, resist. Now they do you for resisting a wrongful arrest! It's not that different."
1) Yes it is. The Swedes dropped the case because he was too hard to get, not because it didn't have merit.
2) Indeed, you can be arrested for resisting arrest, even if the arrest, it later transpires, is wrongful. Although just because you didn't do something, doesn't mean the arrest is wrongful. A wrongful arrest would have to be if the officer does not have reasonable belief that you were a suspect, and enough evidence to make an arrest.
