FAQ
Elements Needed to Prove Battery There are four things that a prosecutor must be able to prove in order for a person to be convicted of battery: intent, contact, harm and damages.
You can request a copy of a report from the Sheriff's station that wrote the report, or responded to the incident. If within 14 days of the incident, please contact the handling station to confirm the report is available. You may also request a copy of a report via mail or by contacting the Information Services Bureau.
Use Text to 911 only when calling is not an option. Use Text to 911 if you are hearing/voice impaired, are in a dangerous situation where you are unable to speak, or during a medical emergency in which you are incapable of speech.
Complaint Procedure You should first contact the Sheriff's station where the incident occurred. You may also contact the Sheriff's Professional Standards Bureau to file a complaint.
The process of obtaining an arrest warrant begins when law enforcement officers or prosecutors present evidence to a judge demonstrating probable cause that a person has committed a crime. To issue an arrest warrant, the judge must be convinced that there is sufficient evidence to justify the arrest.
Assault is verbal in nature, while battery is physical. For example, if you tell someone you will slap their face, you have committed assault. If you do actually slap the person's face, you have engaged in contact with the person and committed battery.
Assault, California Penal Code (PC) 240, involves causing fear or apprehension of imminent violence (whether attempted or threatened) and is typically a misdemeanor. Battery, California Penal Code 242, involves using force or violence and is typically much more serious.
Simple battery under California Penal Code Section 242 PC is a misdemeanor offense that can include the following penalties: up to six months in jail, hefty court fines, probation with community service or community labor requirements, and anger management or other forms of counseling.
California Penal Code § 242 – Simple Battery California Penal Code CPC §242 – Simple Battery – California Penal Code Section 242 makes it illegal to use willful and unlawful force on another person. Conviction under CPC §242 permits up to six months in a county jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
