What is the procedure for filing an assault charge against someone?
- Thread starter Fudd
- Start date
Couldn't agree more gl! That said no offence to fudd if you happened to be blindsided as you say.
Too many whiners out there who start shit then get whats coming to them and cry to the authorities. Be a man and take what you deserve or stand up for yourself without whining to others. Again, fudd not against you here, just frustrated with the amount of people who start something then cry about the justice they were fed.

There's nothing "manly" about not reporting an assault. Only barbarians attempt to solve problems with violence. People who say "suck it up and be a man!" are probably stupid barbarians themselves. Assaults are wrong and criminal, and should be reported to the police.
The procedure is simple. You call the police, you tell them that you were assaulted and want to press charges. An officer will come to your home and interview you, and try to figure out if they can press charges against the person. Then they press charges and the person will go to criminal court and be judged guilty or not guilty.

depends on if he has witnesses and so forth, the person who punched him can come forward with his/her own false witnesses.
an injury on its own is enough to press charges but it wont stick unless you prove that person is responsibly for it because its your word against his.
grow a pair you fucking douche
i seriously doubt the cops are going to give much attention to a grown man complaining about an assault charge. unless you look like you were run through a meat grinder, or ended up in emergency, i don't see the cops doing much to punish the guy who kicked the crap out of you.
without getting into too much detail...a "guy" i know was at the bar one night, and it was getting towards closing time, and he wasn't doing so good. by that i mean he didn't know when to say when. needless to say he was pretty hammered, so he made his way to the bathroom to empty his stomach into the sink, and be on his merry way.
for some odd reason one of the bouncers took exception to this, and followed this guy into the bathroom telling him it was time to go. so, this "guy" tells the bouncer, politely i might add, to give him a minute to get his shit together and he'd be on his way.
the bouncer, being the stunning intellectual that most bouncers are, couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to lay his hands on this "guy." well this "guy" took exception, turned around and cranked the bouncer in the head. bouncer's nose shatters, blood vomits everywhere, and he's on the ground. guy walks out the bathroom, out of the bar, hails a cab, goes home and passes out.
over the next little while the cops start showing up at his house, asking questions, they start calling all his friends, all the bouncers friends, doing the whole CSI thing trying to figure out what happened in that bathroom and after all was said and done the "guy", who i might add felt awful about what happened, ended up never seeing the inside of a courtroom, but was banned from said nightclub.
i suppose the point i'm trying to make is that there are more important things for the cops to worry about then you getting your ass handed to you.the other point i'm trying to make is the "guy" in that story was guilty as sin. he knew it, the cops knew it, the bouncer who got his face caved in knew it, and in the end nothing really came of it other then everyone's time being wasted. and that all things considered even if there were grounds for criminal charges, and that you did manage to get a conviction, and the guy did manage to get a fine, or heaven forbid, time served, or community service in the end i doubt you would feel like any less a douche at the end of it all as you do now.
to echo the other two guys...you probably deserved it. be a man. the way i see it, sooner or later everyone has to take a beating. life throws things like this at us sooner or later, and they don't build character, they reveal it.

This "you probably deserved it" mentality is the stupidest thing I've ever read on here.
Give your fucking heads a shake. I suppose women who are raped had it coming too, eh?
Lots of people are assaulted through no fault of their own. And the perpetrators deserve to be held accountable.
Period.

Contrary to what some stupid barbarian said further up in this thread, the police do take assaults and any violence, whether against a man or a woman, very seriously.
They won't take it seriously if someone yelled at you or hurt your feelings, but if someone laid a finger on you, that's an assault, and they will deal with it.
And as someone else said earlier, yes, hopefully you have a witness or some sort of evidence linking the assault to the attacker. Otherwise it's word against word.
Again, how many times does it have to be said, there is nothing manly about accepting violence. If these dumb neanderthals think violence is ok, there is something seriously wrong in their heads.

It was during a meeting of my activist group so I 've got a room full of witnesses.
HOLY SHIT!!! Life is strange. While I was writing the above, a girl in the group just called me up about the incident we got to talking and now I've got her number and were talking about going out some time.

why resort to name calling?
you made your point the first time you spoke, no need to re-iterate it, just because someone has a different point of view.
do us a favor, take your foot out of your mouth, and save the name calling for the playground after school
seriously? whats with the name calling? if goodlube and giggity giggity, and myself offer a point of view, (regardless if it's right or wrong) that's contrary to yours why is it that you feel the need to back your argument up with calling us barbarians and neanderthals? it's not like we're the ones who smoked Fudd in the head.

Lol, alright then.
If endorsing violence makes you feel smart, brave, and "manly" then by all means, continue.
I will continue to believe it means you lack the ability to think of other means to solving problems.

Yes, some people definitely deserve a good beating, but if you advocate violence you put yourself in a certain category.
Let's say, we can tell you are not a refined, elegant, rich CEO or business man, but more likely a blue collar (nothing wrong with it) or in the worse case a drunk ruffian.
And if you are like that don't be surprised if "better people" will shy away from you. It is no fun to have friends where you don't know when will they end up in jail - guilty or not guilty.

Kind of confused here, are we talking assult or battery?
Battery being when a person intentionally causes harmful or offensive contact with another person without his/her consent.
Assult being when a person intentionally creates the apprehension of such contact, (threatening battery).
Battery being when a person intentionally causes harmful or offensive contact with another person without his/her consent.
Assult being when a person intentionally creates the apprehension of such contact, (threatening battery).
1) Go to the police and tell them your story. Tell them you want to press charges.
2) If you can hire a lawyer, do it. The police will take your complaint much more seriously, and your lawyer will also pressure the crown to file charges.
