Assault with a bodily fluid in many States is considered a potential lethal weapon as it can spread diseases like AIDS. If you did this in NY you could go to jail for 20 years or more and rightfully so. |

If you spit in any ones face - regardless if they are a cop or not you can be charged with assault.
Why do you think the law would allow you to do that to anyone - especially a cop? Are you just that young or that stupid? |

Yes, you can be charged with assault, aggravated assault of a police officer, and possibly attempted murder if you have a communicable disease (like AIDS). The court can and just might require you to be tested for AIDS--- AT YOUR EXPENSE and the results reported to the court and to the officer. Spitting at someone is a coward's insult, and at 6'3" and 135lbs., I can see that was the best you could offer. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you still have any teeth to spit through. The courts have been very harsh with penalties for this offense.......... be prepared to be found guilty, pay a hefty fine, spend a few days in county jail, and be on the receiving end of a good @ss-chewing from the judge. |

Yes.
You should be charged if you were to spit in any persons face. I cannot believe you do not know that. It is a very low class thing to do and you must also know that. |

|

Amy
|
aren't you charles R, who wants to fight a cop,
anywho, yes, most definitely |
|

Rod
|
Yes, definitely. It's called aggravated assault. A felony. Judges have a nice way with dealing with attitudes like that. There are some LEO's that would take the long way back to the station if you did that to them. Don't even think about it. |
|

andy F7
 |
yes, let us know how that went. |
|

wammyt
 |
yes you sure can. If you should be carrying any bloodbourne virus and the officer gets sick, it can be extremely serious, IE: assault with intent to harm. If he or she should die in a more extreme example you can then be charged with manslaughter/man-1. |
