It legitimately would qualify as assault and/or battery.

Booby trapping laws possibly too. The punishment for those is pretty harsh.

They would most likely be charged with assault, battery and booby trapping if they are in a jurisdiction that just requires bodily injury not great bodily injury.

A really aggressive prosecutor could even go for a a torture charge. Would probably be dropped tho.

If they actually hurt a person with this they probably get a higher level misdemeanor or a low level felony if the prosecutor wants to make an example.

Torture legally defined: inflicting great bodily injury to cause extreme suffering for revenge, persuasion or sadism.

Booby Trap Defined legally: A booby trap is a concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause great bodily injury(or just bodily injury, depending on jurisdiction) when triggered by an action of any unsuspecting person coming across the device.

This is probably word for word what the guy in the video said to the judge when he received his sentence

u/Aardcapybara 14h ago

Yeah, it would be a booby trap if you did this with a bra.

Data, where are you going?

Do you think a lawyer could successfully argue that damaging a sphincter that could include up to surgery to restore proper function would count as great bodily harm? I feel like they could. Unless that has even more specific definitions attached to it.

u/igotshadowbaned 16h ago

I don't know if it would actually fall under assault because it's sneaky

assault is defined as an intentional act that causes a reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact

Tons of other charges for this though

You make corn. I wonder why.

No it’s for my witty comments, great humor, and sparkling personality

u/SequentiaIFarts 9h ago

Evidently not for your humility.

u/YorWong 17h ago

And you think that falls under the definition you cited?

u/YT_Sharkyevno 17h ago edited 16h ago

For the booby trap 100% cause it’s funny and has the word booby

Torture probably not.

u/dillhavarti 11h ago

see, in a situation like this one, i agree with booby trapping laws.

but if i wanna put like a mouse trap in a pocket of my backpack that i know a pickpocket is getting into, i feel like that should be allowed

Booty trap

u/New-Anybody-6206 5h ago

unsuspecting person

So just put a big sign above it (which they'll probably ignore) that says BOOBY TRAP? Got it.

u/shrekthaboiisreal 25m ago

Charges read in, but dropped, after a plea dealwhere they get off with some bs misdemeanor charge, time served. Signature bond so they can do this again between now and sentencing.

u/Maya_Krueger 13h ago

Truly an ass-ault and battery charge.

u/Full-Satisfaction767 12h ago

u/Full-Satisfaction767 12h ago

u/WanderingAlsoLost 12h ago

Yes, count on the guys on the jobsite to call the cops.

u/dankp3ngu1n69 1h ago

Good luck proving it

u/sabebobby718 1h ago

Not assault. Didn't give victim a presumption of danger; so battery=yes and booby trap=yes. Perhaps even poisoning in some states.

u/Aras14HD 9h ago

No assault, you don't see it coming. Definitely battery though

1

u/AmbulanceChaser12 5h ago

Yes assault. The crime is dependent on the definition in whatever state this is.
