Is fighting illegal?

[Xionide]

My friend is saying It isnt and that a cop told him it wasnt. I think it is. So is it?

Well, depends if the other guy wants to press charges. I suspect that if neither of you presses charges, nobody else can, but if you break any thing the owner can, and if one person wants to call it assault, it is.

 

In what context?

 

[TwinkleToes77]

i would think that only if the other party pressed charges of assault or whatever.

Context that two people are in a park kicking the sh!t out of eachother and neither wants to press charges and the cops come along.

In my city if 2 or more persons are fighting the police will file the charges under what they call assualt by mutual consent. Dont laugh it is the law here.

Bleep

If they're betting it definitely isn't legal.

If they are fighting in an orderly fashion, such as in a ring, then it's perfectly legal.

 

[rutchtkim]

the police officers can press charges as they represent either local, county, or state government.

Public fighting (anywhere that is in town and outdoors basically), the cops can and will hand out $400 tickets to each individual. I have witnessed many public fights in town where the individuals received such tickets. Lately, however, people have been organizing outside of the city limits. In fact, I witnessed such a fight today. lol. Ohh how boring it is here in Oklahoma.
