I fish there sometimes for convince due to my dad living in the area. Even done some trades with members down there. Many of those kids do drive crazy through there. I have addressed a few myself especially when my 6 year-old was with me. Of course we carry in the area. I have seen a few fisherman and kids actually get physical. I dislike Dog , but in this article I dont see what crime was committed. Heck I have given some of those kids several polite lectures over the years and never was charged with a crime. I am sure some kid could make some crap up, but this sounds hokey.

Assault doesn't require physical action. It only requires the verbal believed indication of violence. "I'm going to kick your ass." There, you've been assaulted.

Now, if I punch you in the face I've committed battery.

I'm not surprised, too many times I have seen them spouting law, only they really have no professional understanding of the law(as SA explained), I think that one of these days something very very bad is going to happen to them, bite off more then they can chew and get into a pretty bad situation, but I get the feeling that they really do not go after really bad bail jumpers, they make those they get seem worse then they are.

Totally agree but in this case it sounds like someone is fishing for some cash from the dog and his wife. As observed there is a safety concern at that lake with speeders as observed and I can see why people get angry, but it really is not a bad place just has no organized parking. However Ms.Dog if she did mouth off should not have done it, but to be charged with a crime sounds pretty stupid.

Not sure where you got that information from...but it's wrong. Assault (1st, 2nd and 3rd) does require various degrees of physical injury. And there's no such offense as battery (at least under state statutes) in Colorado.

I agree but never the less if she did threaten to kick the young ladies backside it is an assault, simply stated a poor choice of words was the only real issue here, and that can and probably will be quickly handled, as much as I enjoy laughing at this family I think they do serve a viable purpose and in my line of work I have seen more then my fair share of "Bounty Hunters" including the Chapman's, the coming civil lawsuit on the other hand will be far more stupid...

The real sad part is that just like warning labels, there was a reason why this became a law, for some reason someone decided that Darwin needed some sort of Lawful backing.

Hummmmmm, Bailey, Wonder whats not being reported, It appears as though by Statute you are correct...

The article never mentions an assault. It mentions Beth Chapman yelling "rude and obscene" things to a teenage girl. It states Beth will be charged with Harassment. That must be the appropriate charge under the Monument muni code.

Hrm, I know my law prof a year ago explained the difference to us, and that in one system, assault and battery are separate (assault being the "threat of harm" (so if I threaten your back but you're unaware, I've committed no assault), battery being the unlawful contact with you or any of your immediate possessions (like a purse)), versus assault (which is both of the above). I want to say that he said the "assault and battery" (separate) were in the civil court system, whereas the assault you're referring to is criminal.

((OT) Ironically, unlawful imprisonment does NOT require you to be aware. If you lock me in my room while I'm on my computer, and later unlock it, even if I never stirred from my computer I could have a case against you :P)

Well, I can't speak to what you're professor told you. But that doesn't change the fact there's no such state charge as battery. There may be a municipal violation of "Battery" but I looked up the Town of Monument muni code and there's no charge for battery. If it's a civil charge, the cops wouldn't have anything to do with it. Aurora may have a muni code for Battery...not sure.

The state charge of Harassment (CRS 18-9-111) involves unwanted physical contact without bodily injury...strikes, shoves, kicks...or directing obscene language or gestures towards another person.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it was the civil portion of the law which separated them. So if someone hit me, the state'd charge them with assault, while I sued them for assault and battery, that sort of thing.

There are two levels of "assault and battery". Pick your verbiage, but every state and federal law in this country denote two levels, verbal threats indicating violence and instilling fear, and actual physical contact intended to cause harm and pain.

Pick whatever words you want, but don't tell me I'm wrong. The underlying legal difference is still intact.

Sorry...you're first post was wrong in terms of Colorado statutes. Words, especially in a legal realm, have meaning...that's why they're used. When a case is filed the filing officer doesn't get to pick his verbiage. He/she has to use specific terms appropriate to the circumstance.

ETA: Just to be clear, as I stated earlier I'm talking specifically in terms of Colorado statutes. I understand you're initial example may work elsewhere...it doesn't here.

I always thought the "I'm going to kick your ass" was assault and then physical contact was battery under most civil court/code. Whereas the criminal court/code there is no battery and assault requires physical contact.

He got it from the usual place - confusing civil tort "assault" with the criminal definition. You of course got it right. ;-)
