>Touching anyone without their permission (whether it is on their arm or their
>breast) is battery.

Will someone PLEASE explain this to me??  Touching someone is not battery.
Not in any circumstance that I am aware of.  As I posted earlier, in sexual
harrassment cases, touching -- even the kind that hurts a person -- is FINE
until/unless the person specifically tells you not to.  How does that square
with the insistence that any kind of touching is battery??  Can I accuse
someone of battery who touches me with their arm on my arm in a crowded
elevator?  Can I accuse someone of battery who taps me on the shoulder?
Come on folks!
