is squirting someone with very cold water (against their wishes) illegal?

[Coldtits]

Is it assault?

SOunds like it would be.

Isn't that what water-cannons do?

I think it would depend on whether it was to prevent a crime or not, colditz.

I'd have thought it could be if it causes harm

Is that colditz?

what are the circumstances?

It would entirely depend on the context wouldn't it?

Technically, yes, it is assault. But you'd have to be a bit of a wanker to insist on pressing charges.

I think pretty much any sort of unwanted physical contact would technically be an assault. But whether police or CPS would be interested in following up a cold water squirting may well be another matter.....

yes, it's colditz

I don't know, I haven't done it, I just wanted to know.

tipping a bucket of water on someone in the street? Squirting someone with a water pistol? Tipping water on teenaged offspring to aid removel from squalid pit bed?

LOL, yes, go and water pistol your son. We'll come and visit you in prison.

in your defence you could say it was accidental, they couldn't prove otherwise

I imagine it is probably illegal, but surely a lot of people who do that sort of thing are well below the age of criminal responsiblity. Ie. they are six years old and been given a super soaker by a daft relative.

Still, would the police be that interested?

i would imagine so, i have thrown a glass of water over dd on occasion she is free to tell the police if she so wishes. i might get a stern telling off and that would really hurt my feelings

Well, Heather Mills got away with it. Mind you, she probably had an insanity defence...
