Will you get sentenced for assaulting a police officer but did not touch him?
Yes, 'assault' does not necessarily mean you touched someone. The term for uninvited physical contact is 'battery'. Assault covers the threat and intent of violence, battery is the harmful contact, the act itself.Threatening a police officer with a punch to the face is assault, as is spitting at him. Punching him, or spitting on him, is battery (and may be assault too).Assault is commonly misunderstood to mean physical contact but the above is true as a legal definition in many countries, including England and most of the US, but differs a little in Scotland. That means you can indeed be found guilty of assaulting a police officer - if you touched him, you'd have been charged with battery.
How much time can someone get for assaulting a police officer or resisting arrest in New York?
It varies based on the jurisdiction, the type of victim, and the type of assault. For instance, simple misdemeanor assault can get you up to 120 days, while misdemeanor assault on a female can get you up to 180 days. Of course, a first offense of simple assault without any sentencing enhancements might only get you probation, a fine, and/or community service. Depending on the state, any sort of assault on a police officer is usually a felony. Similar is usually true of any sort of sexual assault. Depending on how it is defined by the jurisdiction, a felony is usually a crime which gets at least a year of time. Felony assault, also known as "aggravated assault" or "grievous bodily harm," which usually means you caused serious injuries to the other person or used weapons such as a gun or a knife, can get you much more time. Assault with intent to kill could get you up to about 21 years, though in most cases, the judge doesn't actually give that much.

Under Florida Law no. A licensed armed security officer is not a peace officer. In the State of Florida you do not have to be sworn to have peace officer status.
