Illinois | Interference While Traveling

Getting on a plane to an exciting destination may sound like fun in the movies, but it is rarely an event that people look forward to. You may not like being delayed to getting home or going on a vacation, may be tired of all the long waits and rude people, and it is just not a fun experience for anyone. But acting out against the people who assist you in getting from one destination to another is not allowed and could put you with charges of a criminal offense. Any sort of interfering, threatening, and hitting of a crew member who is working on your plane is a violation of federal law and you could face felony charges.

If you got a little upset during you last plane ride and interfered with one of the crew members on the trip, make sure to get the right legal counsel to be on your side the whole time. This can help you to get the best results and support in court without having to spend too much time in jail for this irrational act.

Assaulting the Crew member

There are laws in place that are meant to help protect the crew and passengers on your plane. These laws have made it illegal for you to interfere with any of the crew, whether this is the pilots or the flight attendants. They are there to make sure you and everyone else is safe on the trip, and if you assault them, they are unable to properly complete their jobs. If you assault them, whether it was an attempt or you actually injured them or you intimidate them, you could face felony charges. In addition, if you are using some form of dangerous weapon in order to attack, you are going to face much higher penalties than anyone else.

Interfering with the Crew member

Even if you aren’t doing actions that are considered assault, you can still face felony charges when you interfere with the work that the crew members are trying to do. There are huge fines just for interfering with a crew member while they are doing their duties. Some of the disruptive behavior that could get you in trouble includes:

Using your body to block a flight attendant when they are walking down the aisles
Disobeying requests to turn off a device, go back to your seat, or sit down.
Making any sort of threat about hurting anyone on the plain, a pilot, or a flight attendant.
Being on the ground and shining a laser beam up to the cockpit.

Understanding the difference between these two charges is difficult, but it can be crucial. Interference can get you in trouble, but usually you are just getting fees and penalties to deal with. On the other hand, assaulting the crew member can get you put in jail and worse because it is a federal offense. In some cases, you could be charged with a combination of both, which is going to make the situation much worse than it started.

It is always best to just keep your cool when you’re flying in the air. Find some nice relaxing way to stay calm and enjoy the flight as much as possible. Keep in mind that the crew members are simply doing their jobs, and not trying to ruin the good time you are having. Listen to what they say and the flight should go just fine.


If you happen to be charged with interfering or assault of a crew member while flying, make sure that you find the right criminal defense lawyer to help you out right from the start.
