Can you go to jail for spitting on someone?

it depends, if you have a clean record and spit in someone's face you might either do community service, jail time, anger management. BUT if you spit on police officers, security guard, or any other it will be far more serious than spitting on your neighbor or who everAnother View: DISAGREE with the above answer. In most (all?) jurisdictions it is considered the crime of assault to spit on another person - especially in this day of communicable diseases capable of being spread by bodily fluids.What the court MIGHT do bears no resemblance of how the law is actually written.


Is it against the law to spit on someone?

It is assault. You can also be sued (in Civil Court) for unlimited funds if you give the person you spit on ANY reason to suspect you may have a communicable disease, since that may put them "in fear for their life". You should also be aware that if someone genuinely DOES "fear for their life" as a consequence of being spat upon, in most communities they can KILL you and not be found guilty of murder! It's also just plain gross and disrespectful.


What does it mean when someone spits in your face?

Seriously? If you have to ask, I would have a hard time understanding why exactly. I mean when you spit in another's face it is the ultimate insult and an physical assault on one's person. It is a complete and utter lack of respect. It's a frail display of superiority but grossly offensive. When you spit into someone's face it's like saying that person is s**t without throwing a punch. It is also a show of weakness. Especially when someone does it an walks away. It is EXTREMELY disrespectful and looked on as 'assault' in most countries including the US.
