Assault and Battery on a Police Officer is a serious criminal
offense. There is a common misconception about Assault, and I'll
explain this here.
Assault is not the unlawful touching of another person, that is
Battery. Assault is to provoke fear in someone that you may batter
them (hit them).
If you've been charged with Assault & Battery on a Police
officer, it would be suggest that you seek legal counsel to protect
your rights.
