quote:Could be just about anything. There have been a few cases where someone was charged because they blew smoke into a cops face. Remember when that cop wanted a guy charged with assault because he farted in the cops car?
Got me wondering what exactly would constitute "battery of a police officer"? Could it be something as minor as a little shove? Or would the drunk young lady have had to actually somehow cause harm to the officer?

Hey, I know some guys for whom that would be a legitimate charge! They are rank, especially when alcohol is thrown in the mix.
But my guess is he put his hand on her (not necessarily in an inappropriate place, maybe on her arm to steady her or direct where she should position herself) and she slapped it away.
ETA: above scenario would technically be both resisting and battery

Varying degrees of battery on a police officer. 1 can be a misd and the other two can be felonies. Misd could be shoving or pushing. The felonies must show bruising etc. Same with us commoners...

The punishment from the law isn't going to be nearly as severe as having this on her record will affect her ability to get a job.

it could be a LOT of things
i actually had to help on a battery on a police office trial when i was a baby lawyer b/c it's one of the few misdemeanors in LA with a mandatory minimum. oh, and the cops completely fabricated a story...that too
we lost
i'm still sore about it

she could have also spit or thrown crap on the officer. I believe by looking at her she probably spit.

I've received all kinds of crazy charges before when getting a DWI and they were always dropped when I plead to the DWI. That's all they want is a guilty plea and a high bond after arrested.

When you resist or make officers jobs difficult, they are going to arrest you with every charge that they can construe from the events. Doesn't mean you will be prosecuted for all of them. They usually get thrown out or used as a bargaining chip to get a guilty plea for the main charge. The more charges, the easier the prosecuters job is and the more money the court saves.

This is what I figured. The gal must have thrown quite a hissy-fit. I can't imagine a 21 year old girl would have been difficult for a cop to subdue, but it appears she made it harder than it had to be.
Luckily I've got very limited experience with cops in situations like this (just one), but what I learned was this: if you don't act like an a-hole to the cop, you have a much better chance of a positive outcome in the end.

Years ago I got I was charged with dui and assault and battery on 2 police officers. I resisted arrest and punched 2 of them. The only thing I got was a few bruises from them. No dui, no court, nothing.

You are obviously leaving out some of the story....

Cop has lights on behind me as in pursuit. Another cop comes out of a side road in front me. I slam my brakes so I dont tbone him. Cop in pursuit slams into the back of me.

That sounds like the mother of all clusterfricks for all parties involved...so I can see where everyone might have been willing to "compromise"
Posted on 7/16/17 at 2:08 pm to LSUGrad9295
it was no compromise. They didnt tell me to go home. They put me in jail uner a whole bunch of charges. Im sure when the DA looked at the clusterfrick he threw it out knowing he couldnt win.

How does a 21 year old chick not have a FB account?

Wondering what penalty DWI + battery of police officer might be by LSUGrad9295
unfortunately, where a 21 year old girl is involved, the major deciding factor in the penalty would be who her daddy is.
Posted on 7/16/17 at 3:48 pm to LSUGrad9295
It could be anything from poking him with her finger to punching him. Cops will charge you with everything they can and let the DA figure it out.

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated, failure to maintain control (careless operation), resisting an officer and battery of a police officer.
Arrested by Louisiana State Police. Bond was apparently set at or around $11,500.
They don't usually play around.
