Will the crime of assaulting a police officer be sentenced after obtaining the letter of understanding?

1. Legal risk: Article 277 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) obstructs state functionaries from performing their duties according to law by violence or threats, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine. Whoever violently attacks the people's police who perform their duties according to law shall be given a heavier punishment in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph. In a case of public prosecution, after the public security organ files a case, the criminal suspect and his family members make restitution to the victim and obtain an understanding, which can be considered as a mitigating circumstance when sentencing, but the case will not be revoked because of private reconciliation between the two parties. The object of the crime of disrupting public service is complex, and the normal management activities of the state are its main object. Understanding is not just about individuals being detained for criminal offences. Family members should promptly entrust lawyers to help meet and understand the objective case, apply for bail pending trial, defend their innocence or misdemeanor according to the case, and strive for a lighter sentence or suspended sentence.
