Re: What is the penalty for assaulting a police officer
Striking anyone with a car can be characterized as an aggravated assault, a second degree crime punishable by a maximum sentence of ten years is serious bodily injury results and a crime of the third degree punishable by a maximum sentence of tive years if bodily injury results. Assaulting a police officer is a third degree offense punishable by a maximum sentence of five years.

Re: What is the penalty for assaulting a police officer
What you describe is a very serious offense, aggravated assault, which depending on how it is written up can result in penalties of up to ten years in state prison and thousands of dollars in fines. Whoever did this will unquestionably need a lawyer to represent them. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to this in various courts in New Jersey in the past. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this in more detail. There is never any charge for simply discussing a case with me. Thank you.
