Shaving someones head
Discussion
If I was to shave someones head as a prank whilst they were dead drunk or even just pretty out of it would there be any legal comeback ?
Now whilst I would hope that no decent police officer would bother pursuing me the problem is that his Dad's a lawyer, who doesn't like me. I just want to see what the most trouble I could get in is so I can weight it up.

My mate asked me to shave his head once, and I have a hard time believing that you shave someones head while they are asleep without cutting them or causing them some discomfort, therefore there could be an assault charge at the very least.
I would not advise pulling this stunt unless you think he will laugh about it, I would kill the man who did it to me

Not sure what it'd come under, but common assault covers all manner of sins in this category.
You won't end up in prison with Bubba, in short, unless you're currently released on license.
Edited to advise that if you did it to me I'd kick seven shades of shite out of you as a starter for 10 and then your life would really start to go downhill.

I was speaking to a BiB about a month ago and was told that drawing on someone was assault. So, yes, I guess that shaving their head would fall under assult.

Assault by beating, possibly ABH.
I once defended a woman who after what she regarded as a bad hair cut went round to the stylist's home and gave her a bad hair-cut in revenge. She was charged with ABH.
So I don't really recommend it.
Was she convicted? If so, what did she get?

It would not be ABH because that requires the 'breaking of the whole skin'. It would most certainly be Common Assault and could even be Criminal Damage if the hair happened to be a 'rug' or an extremely expensive cut which was lost due to the removal of the said barnet!
I dont have any advice, but a chap on here who goes by the name of StevieJay, did this exact thing to me whilst i was unconscious (v v drunk). The b@stard shaved a stripe right up the back of my head - it wasnt even a Number 1, the guards were off so i was almost bald!
I havent forgotten Steve hehehe

She was and she got some sort of a community penalty.

Can't criminaly damage living organism. Or interestingly steal it unless work has been done on it (ie embalming a corpse) Hence the case of the guy who gave a urine sample, changed his mind, grabbed it back and drank it. He was aquitted of theft.
