ugh, nevermind. I was looking at edition 1 and the definition has been changed since. The police officer would have felt "due discomfort".
I still say they are a bunch of gits.

This guy will probably get probation or community service or a fine for doing this. If you had farted on your neighbor and it went to court, they would laugh. But since it was a POLICE OFFICER, they take it a little more serious.
I read one once where a man got charged with attempted murder on a police office because he spit or got saliva on the cop and he was found out to be HIV positive. And he was sentenced to like 30-40 years!

I remember that case. That's really going back a ways. And he did know that he was HIV positive. That was back in the day when you had either AIDS or full blown AIDS (before the 'HIV positive' term).

CHARLESTON, West Virginia (AP) -- A West Virginia man accused of passing gas and fanning it toward a police officer no longer faces a battery charge.
Jose Cruz says West Virginia police denied his request to use the restroom.
The Kanawha County prosecutor's office requested that the charge be dropped against 34-year-old Jose Cruz.
According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken to the police station for a Breathalyzer test.
Cruz denies fanning the gas and says that his request to use a restroom when first arriving at the station was denied.

An assistant says Magistrate Jack Pauley signed a motion to dismiss the charge Thursday.
Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces driving under the influence and other charges
