It does if you actually read the wording of the law... obstruction requires INTENT which necessitates a crime duh.
yes, intent to obstruct an ongoing investigation. is in you could get off if you accidentally obstructed an ongoing investigation. investigations investigate if there was a crime, according to your 12 IQ interpretation it wouldn't ever be possible to obstruct any investigation that doesnt lead to a guilty verdict, as that's where we find out if the person is guilty of committing a crime that was investigated.
obstruction charges are designed to stop investigation and courtroom tampering, which can lead to a false innocent verdict if done successfully. like mob people silencing witnesses.
for the life of me i dont get how people can be so legally ignorant.
