Tear Gas

A West Virginia man pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving is being charged with battery on a police officer for allegedly raising one leg, passing gas loudly, and fanning it towards the officer. Maybe they need to make the breathalyzer instructions more clear.

I understand that the officer was offended, but a battery charge? Would they hit him with a concealed weapons charge for a quiet one?

I think the guy will get off. When they read you your rights, they only tell you, “Anything you SAY can and will be used against you.”

Legally, it’s a question of the rights of the accused. From now on, it’s “You have the right to remain silent-but-deadly.”

The man may even be questioned as a terrorist, since he unleashed a biological weapon.
