Hello
Plead not guilty? The matter will then go to hearing at court at a later stage where you need to put your case forward.

This means the Magistrate will need to make a ruling after you give evidence in court, along with the alleged victim.

If you are found guilty, you will likely be convicted. If you are found not guilty, you win and the matter is resolved.

I wish to help you in this situation.

what evidence can i give to plead not guilty to the assault charge? i never laid a hand on the officer as he grabbed me once i tried to record from my phone after i asked if i was able to record and the officer allowed me to

Daniel, Expert

You need to explain the situation.

Further, a common assault charge does not need you to lay a hand, it is only for an action you caused which may cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety.

Perhaps engage a lawyer, have them negotiate and see if the police with withdraw the assault charge if you plead guilty to the obstruction charge.

Customer
what would happen if i was to plead guilty? what are the possible outcomes?

Daniel, Expert

Criminal conviction. Fine. No jail time I would suggest

Customer
how serious is having 2 serious assault charges and 2 charges of obstruction? what would be the possible outcomes ?

Daniel, Expert

Quite serious.
You should get a lawyer to represent you regardless.

Customer
would i be able to talk to the officer that gave these charges to withdraw them? also would the 2 serious assault charges and 2 charges of obstruction result to jail time?

I just take it to court? Who would I give it too please? Sorry im very clueless and don't know much about what to do in this situation

Daniel, Expert

Consent Orders are for family law matters.
If you contest the matters, meaning plead not guilty, it goes to hearing. A judge will consider the evidence and make a decision.
