Research on the Criminal Path of Assaulting Police Officers
The scope of the crime of assaulting police officers in practice is overly broad.In order to distinguish the boundary between the crime of assaulting a police officer and non crime,as well as the crime of obstructing official duties,it is necessary to conduct research on the crime of assaulting a police officer from the legal interests,objective aspects,and subject aspects.Acts that do not simultaneously infringe upon the law enforcement rights and personal rights of police officers,attacks that lack suddenness and unpredictability,and assaults on police officers that occur before or after the commencement of police duties do not constitute the crime of assaulting police officers.The violence of the crime of assaulting police officers is limited to the narrow sense of vio-lence involving the direct unlawful exercise of tangible force against the person.Assaulting auxiliary police officers acting alone and auxiliary police officers exceeding the scope of their authority does not constitute the crime of assaulting police officers;assaults by intoxicated individuals against police officers should not be designated as the crime of assaulting police officers but may be designat-ed under other charges.
