It would be funny, if, as you're running away, the officer yells out "stop... down on the ground.... GUN GUN GUN" then pulls out his gun, and shoots you.

So my friends and I were shooting the shit talking about potentially funny pranks or videos that could be pulled off and have the video put on youtube. The best idea of the night IMO was sneaking up to a cop and fucking wailing them across the ass once with a paddle and then running like hell. Now in order for it to work the cop would have to be fairly out of shape and the paddle wielder would have to be training for a while to be able to sprint a ways and disappear into the crowd.

It's almost certain you'd be caught.

However you could edit the video to hide that part. So what kind of punishment are we looking at here? Clearly you'd get arrested and get your ass kicked inside out at the station. What kind of criminal charges are we looking at here?

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this?

... and totally redeem yourself!

seriously, someone would get all those charges for basically spanking a police officer and running away?

you can't just run up to a cop and slap them...

it's considered assault... and would be prosecuted as assault on a peace officer (or government official, depending on the jurisdiction)

I believe that's an actual law in Arkansas.

Arkansas code 9-25-102 Fucking with State Property

Yes, it's currently under consideration by local legislature to change the official verbiage because the precise meaning is a little ambiguous.
