Will you get sentenced for assaulting a police officer but did not touch him?
Yes, 'assault' does not necessarily mean you touched someone. The term for uninvited physical contact is 'battery'. Assault covers the threat and intent of violence, battery is the harmful contact, the act itself.Threatening a police officer with a punch to the face is assault, as is spitting at him. Punching him, or spitting on him, is battery (and may be assault too).Assault is commonly misunderstood to mean physical contact but the above is true as a legal definition in many countries, including England and most of the US, but differs a little in Scotland. That means you can indeed be found guilty of assaulting a police officer - if you touched him, you'd have been charged with battery.
