I have always been under the assumption with FL law that if if someone literally asks you to punch them, and you do, then it is no harm no fowl. I am not talking about an afray, or mutual combat.
The A tells B to hit A, and that if B does hit A then A will call the cops. A got what he asked for, and called the cops.....
In Florida, battery is governed by
Section 784.03 of the state’s statutes. You can only be convicted of misdemeanor battery if the prosecution can prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that each element of battery was present in your actions. Specifically, the state must prove:
Actual, and intentional, touching or striking of another person; and
No consent having been given for the contact in question
