Which type of subject actively resists an officer's control but does not attempt to harm the officer?

The correct choice identifies a subject who actively resists an officer's control without attempting to inflict harm on the officer. This behavior is characterized by actions such as pulling away, refusing to follow commands, or exhibiting physical resistance, but it does not escalate to harmful or aggressive behavior towards the officer.

In contrast to this, other types of subjects are defined by their specific behaviors. A passive compliant subject would follow commands without resistance, while a passive resistor would comply with some commands but not others, often exhibiting hesitation or reluctance. An active aggressor, on the other hand, goes a step further by posing an immediate threat through violent or aggressive actions directed at the officer. Active resistors maintain control over their actions and body while not initiating harm, which is the critical distinction that defines them in terms of law enforcement engagement.
