请教“Section P242, battery"是违反什么法律？有朋友收到一封来自Office of the city attorney寄来的信中说“ A complaint has been filed with this office stating you have violated Section P242,battery, on January. The matter has been scheduled for a City Attorney office hearing on Monday..." 完全不知是什么回事，请帮忙解答，谢谢！！！

引用:What Constitutes a Penal Code 242 "Battery" Crime Under California Law?California law defines battery (also sometimes called "assault & battery") under section 242 of the California Penal Code. A California battery is simply this: "any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon another person." Penal Code 242 is known as a “wobbler”. Wobbler’s are offenses that may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the circumstances surrounding the case.If the battered person is seriously hurt, the criminal case may be prosecuted as a felony under Penal Code 243(d) as a "Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury." This offense is a "violent felony" and may count as a strike under California's Three Strikes Law.If the battered person doesn't suffer serious bodily injury, the criminal case will typically be filed as a misdemeanor (otherwise known as a simple battery).The exception to that is when the alleged victim is a peace officer (or other protected person) engaged in the performance of his/her duties. If the battered person falls into this category, the offense may be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Because of the special consideration afforded to officers and other types of "civil servants", you face a greater jail or prison sentence and potentially higher fines if convicted of battering such a person.The Difference between "Assault" & "Battery"Assault (defined under California Penal Code 240) and battery (Penal Code 242) are actually two separate crimes although they are often used interchangeably.A battery requires some type of violent, painful, or offensive physical contact.An assault, on the other hand, may be charged when an attempt to injure another is made. No physical contact is actually necessary to be charged with an assault.

您总是回复得这么快，先谢谢了。不过，我英文不好，可以简单解释一下吗？需要请律师吗？经回忆，朋友说那天可能是与一同事发生口角的，但因信中没有说明是什么事情。麻烦你了！

应该是因为口角的事，建议你的朋友还是咨询一下律师

感觉问题不是很大，但是最好咨询一下处理一般案件律师，律师需要更多的信息，来分析你朋友的情况
