So just go around telling people to fire warning shots into the pavement... old buddy.
I like to think there was a bit of comedy intended in Gators post.

Apparently some folks don’t know how to laugh...so sad.I like to think there was a bit of comedy intended in Gators post.
So I’m not sure if this makes me want to troll more or less.You should brush up on Poe's Law.
Now that’s funny chit.
Ok to get things back on track here. Some of you guys suggested shining a suspect who continues to approach. Depending on the light, I could see someone attempting to press assault charges or something for shining them.
Anyone think this could be a problem. I mean it would have to be a high intensity light to be plausible.

"Police, I want to press charges on him."
"What did he do?"
"He shined a flashlight at me."
Assault defined - Assault is an attempt to commit a battery, or the intentional placing of another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.
Battery defined - Battery is the intentional use of force or violence upon the person of another; or the intentional administration of a poison or other noxious liquid or substance to another.
No, I don't believe it would be a problem. I can't see a reasonable person make the jump from having a light shined on you to have force used against you. The only real exception would be if the light were attached to a weapon.
You aren’t concerned shining a light that could cause short term flash blindness into someone’s eyes could be considered force or violence?
If in an obvious self defense scenario I’m sure you’ve got no problems, but if someone was a little too fast or even misinterpreted someone’s intentions and caused temporary vision loss (physically harmed someone) I could see consequences. Now is it possible to cause anything other than short term disorientation with a flashlight? I don’t know.
Ok then you have spoken.No, no, and no

But seriously if you guys say it’s more than just a stretch to call shining someone assault it makes me feel pretty good about it as a deterrent.

When you are driving at night and the car in the opposite lane is driving toward you with his brights on, do you make a u-turn and go make a citizen's arrest?
The sun should be charged with assault every day...
