Assault & Battery is actually doing it.
He hasn't raised his hand ..


And wouldn't assault be a little more than just one teenager punching another teenager?

I've punched a cop, and I only got a ticket.. (It was because the cop was in civil clothes, and hadn't identified himself.. It was in a middle of a huge fight, and he grabbed one of my mates.. I thought he was going to beat him up.. I punch him, seconds later, a cop grabbes me and asks me: "Do you know what you just did?" "Err.. I punched a guy?" "No, you just punched a cop, and now, you're fucked.")



I've been in A LOT of fights, where police got involved, and I got nothing.. One dude, I beat senseless, broke his arm, and I didn't even get anything.. An angry phone call from the guys mother, and that was that..
