Right-ish law, if they wanted to arrest them, they’re not going to. They would need more. It’s $25 fine for a code violation for public spitting.

Beyond that, this is wishful thinking and an egregious waste of resources for a simple nuisance from some dumbass degenerate.

OP can seek his pound of flesh per your, very unwise counsel if they so choose. But I would be embarrassed to call the police for this. It’s literally pathetic.
And it’s Philadelphia………… where you can loot, steal cars, take over city blocks with car meet ups, openly partake in drug use on the streets in Kensington and they just turn a blind eye. They will do absolutely NOTHING!!!!! Larry Krasner the DA is a a full fledged Libtard and has let the inmates run the asylum(Philadelphia). The city has become the armpit of the Northeast.

From a urinating elk, silly! 🤪

I had a very petty client (executive chef at a very well known international establishment) who got into a spat with a neighbor, put elk urine all over their property, stuff stinks to high heaven and is hard to get rid of. If you think somebody stinks, this is definitely one way to let everybody know how you feel.
Thanks for the link. I’ll stash it just in case.

Vandalism, I believe.
it isn’t. They have a spitting ordinance That isn’t directly applicable and the statute that REM cited that also would need additional facts to support.

Folks, you have to understand that the law isn’t here to make people have good manners or good sense.

Somebody can roll their eyes at you and flip you the bird without being in violation of any law. We all have a visceral reaction to somebody spitting on us/our stuff, but not everything that needs to be remedied can be done by a lawbook.

I need people to understand this. At law, this is a property crime. It’s a trespass to chattel! You could spend as much money as you like taking this lady to court, suing her for trespass and be awarded $1 in damages. Which is the historical symbolic number to show that you were the best kind of right! Technically right! Today, maybe you actually get the cost of a car wash after spending ..: how much money and time?

Being an adult means exercising good rational judgment, even if those around you aren’t.

You guys are delusional. There ain’t gonna be a prosecuting attorney. The police are not going to respond to this “serial spitting.”

Grow up.
Man up!
Suck it up, and move on for fuck’s sakes!

Somebody spit on your twuk; it’s not a federal case! Holy shit, the police have better things to do, kids!

If someone pissed on her/his/its car in retaliation, would that the same legal outcome? Asking for a friend.

First concern was the best. I'd supply the sister with the videos and take the Y over there from now on. Who knows what somebody of that caliber is capable of and why stir up a hornets nest on somebody else's door step.

Lots of funny retaliation ideas but many that could be easier to legally act on...easier to claim damage from deflated tires or threats from posted warnings etc.
I agree that I would not leave my proposed note if you’re planning to follow it up with some unlawful behavior. Then you’re just setting yourself up for unnecessary drama/culpability for your own misdeeds.

This one is easy, wash the truck, let her know you know it was her, call her some names and move on. Everything changes if this is an unavoidable situation, and you’ll have to confront this person again. Those are not OP’s facts. He can de-escalate and move on, which is what he’s decided to do. That’s the right call. If it happens again, we reevaluate.

This behavior crosses the line. An unstable individual like this is capable of far worse. Take action and stop future violence

Take this advice if you want poor outcomes. This crybully attitude is all the rage now. It’s permission to overreact. Do so at your own peril.

When somebody affronts you, you have a choice to make, and nobody can make it but you. She’s a dumbass and a nuisance. You can pretend that you are now afraid for your life and take whatever steps you think are warranted because of that irrational belief. But the legal system does not reward irrationality. FAFO goes both ways.

Big difference is taking action with in the confines of the law isn’t FAFO Allowing this piece of human garbage to get away with this behavior will do nothing but embolden her. Stand up for what’s right.

What’s your proposed course of action?
