Typical Intentional Torts Battery This is the legal term for hitting someone, which comes from the verb to batter. This covers a surprising range of activities, including sending projectiles into someone else's body, as in firing a gun. Assault An assault is an attempted battery, a threatening injury when no battery takes place. False Imprisonment The technical definition of false imprisonment is confinement without legal authority. Generally, no one is allowed to restrict another person's movement against her will. There are two major exceptions to this. Police generally have authority to detain people they reasonably suspect of crimes. The other exception is called the shopkeeper privilege, which allows shopkeepers to keep people they suspect of shoplifting for a reasonable amount of time. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress This is a particularly difficult tort to prove in court.
