No person shall knowingly interfere with a police officer, fire fighter, codes official, or any other duly authorized officer acting to enforce the law inside the city limits, while the officer is effecting an arrest, or attempting to effect an arrest, whether by warrant or by other lawful process.

A nuisance is anything that causes hurt, inconvenience, or damage to another, and the fact that the act done may otherwise be lawful shall not keep it from being a nuisance.
