- From Canada: An itinerant Calgary man has been fined $115 for spitting into a garbage can in a move that advocates for the homeless say borders on bullying. The man was given the ticket on Monday when a downtown police officer deemed his spitting an “improper disposal of waste”.
From China: Individuals spitting or dropping cigarette butts in public venues in Guangzhou will be subject to fines beginning Saturday as part of local measures aimed at preventing the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
From the United States: In most places in the United States, spitting in public is considered a minor crime. In Battle Creek, Mich., it is a disorderly conduct offense. In Prescott Valley, Ariz., spitting on sidewalks or in public buildings could bring a $500 fine. | |

| Yes. Shouldn't be a huge fine, but some kind of punishment is necessary....spitting on public sidewalks is indecent. | |

| That shit is so disgusting. This guy at my job usually comes out to smoke and hocks a lugee right on the sidewalk that everyone has to walk on to go back in. I'm very tempted to alert the building manager and ask them to send a building-wide email against the practice.
Usually I tell people who do that around me that I didn't know I was standing next to a camel. | |
