Insufficient Evidence for Resisting Arrest 

The elements of resisting arrest include that defendant reasonably should have known that a police officer was making an arrest, of which there was no evidence, because police officers approached defendant bicyclist without lights and without siren. Failure to raise an objection during voir dire (a preliminary examination of a witness or a juror by a judge or counsel.) leaves only plain error review, and appellant failed to describe plain error in his argument, because appellant did not allege any effect on the outcome.
