It is considered assault. You could have called the police. Doubt they would have done much, but you could have taken the police statement to civil court.

Here's an idea, don't be rude to people and they won't spit in your face.


sheesh!

You can legally learn a lesson that being rude to people has consequences.

what exactly did you do that was so rude?

You could have filed an assault charge against them. But you are better off just not being rude to people. You probably deserved what you got, and your probably lucky they didn't smack you in the head.

If you tried a citizens arrest you would probably get your *** kicked. By the way why don't you just use the experience as a lesson to quit being rude to people. Remember this isn't just your world, you share it with others. And if you want to be rude expect it back to you ten fold. And for the record the cops wouldn't do anything about it. I hate people like you, you offend people for a reaction, then when you get one you cry about it. If you where rude to me I would beat your ***!!!!

It's no big deal, although illegal. It's a good job they were not chewing tobacco at thew same time.

learn a lesson about being rude...and be glad they didnt choose to use a knife or something! (these days, it pays not to be too rude to people!)

How about not being rude in the first place.

Urm, my answer would depend on how rude you were to them, having said that spitting in someones face is not the thing i would do, as for what can you do.., well where is the evidence, any whitneses??, if not then nothing, lesson to be learned, dont be rude!!

Consider yourself lucky. If you are rude to the wrong person, you will get shot.

when someone spit in your face it is an insult,they could have done worst,so thank your lucky stars...you were rude and paid the price..if you were to do something now it will be blown out of proportion,you cannot arrest this person...but you could get even nicely...good luck..

That could be classified as assault.


Ivor Hugh G.Rection
No offence, but don't you think the police have bigger things to be worried about?

....... then again......

Minimum force. Citizen's arrest is fraught with danger unless you know the law very well.
You would be better advised to call a constable and let him deal with it.

I think if I were you I would just go home and tell my Mommy, she can take care of everything.


RUDE MOOD!
take your face to the cops and let them take a photo of it and post it on thier myspace page.


Real Talk
If you really wanted to pursue it, you should have just called your local police department and filed a report. Then, asked what measures would be taken to resolve the issue, if any.

So you can dish it, but can't take it? Don't you have a bigger brother you can run back to and ask him to beat them up?

Depending on the Laws in your area, you could have theoretically had assualt charges laid on them. Furthermore, they'd be required to submit to tests to look for any infections/diseases that they could have potentially spread to you.

With that being said, if you've been spit on someone, I recommend seaking medical attention and requesting a screening test for any possibly transferred diseases.
