We already know it's illegal, but with the intent is it a form of criminal confinement? If so, wouldn't that legally allow those confined to use appropriate force to "escape"?
Too soon?
If they won't move, and you have no other possible way to move freely, what would you call it?

But if you say excuse me, they normally do their best to let you move through.Lawn "seats" at a DMB concert.
Those around are also captives....So we need to arrest everyone behind you and on both sides as well?
Possibly if they are on, surrounding, touching my car or threatening me with any violence.
Like this?I think that's a stretch, but I haven't researched it.
If they were surround an individual car, then I think we'd be getting there.
To “confine” means “to substantially interfere with the liberty of a person.”Ind.Code 35–42–3–1. Here, evidence was presented that Nichols passed the minivan driven by Trovatore and braked suddenly, forcing the minivan, which had been traveling thirty-five to forty miles per hour, to quickly brake and stop. Nichols' stopped vehicle was two to five feet in front of the stopped minivan... Dewald stopped his vehicle about two feet behind the minivan... This prevented Trovatore and Draper from pulling away... The evidence is sufficient to show that Trovatore and Draper were confined.

Quite a few videos circulating recently of cars driving <5mph through them then flooring it when they begin beating on the cars. Dont seem to recall a single person being charged for their reasonable course of action.
Why should they be? Hell, in such cases, on could argue use of force could certainly be appropriate.
