A person does not necessarily need to strike someone in order to be found guilty of assault.

Is hitting someone's car assault. What is assault and battery. Thats a battery whether you hurt them or not but its not an assault if they didnt see you coming and were not afraid of getting hit. 1 tries to or does physically strike another or 2 acts in a threatening manner to put another in fear of immediate harm.

The passenger got back in the car and told the driver I was calling the cops. In most states an assaultbattery is committed when one person. As with battery the definition of assault will vary slightly across statutes and case law but the most basic and common definition is an intentional act putting a person in imminent.

However some suspects may merely be charged with assault. They sped off and on their way out they hit another car. Anyone who is charged with battery however is essentially also guilty of assault.

As a car is not a weapon as. Unlike assault throwing an object at a motor vehicle does not require that the defendant have the present ability to apply force to the victim--that is you can be guilty of this crime even if there was no chance of the object you threw hitting the vehicle or its occupants. From a legal standpoint assault and battery often form one charge against a suspect.

The crime of battery is the intentional touching of another in an angry manner or the intentional use of force or violence against another. If the driver then drives in a reckless manner especially if the driver has a prior conviction for DUI or reckless driving a jury and a judge would most likely consider this conduct willful. If they dont want to go to court then it will all be dropped and you can fix your car yourself.

It would not be considered an assault or battery if someone called another person on the phone and threatened them because there would be no imminent threat or fear of physical harm because a person cannot actually be harmed through the phone. Technically its Assault throwing the water at the person and Battery the water hitting the person. Pretty much the same as if the police hit your car.
