I got a ticket for spitting on the sidewalk after a flames game. Laws like this are the reason our society is turning into one giant snoozefest...

I AM A ROBOT!

I'm going to once again state my position that no one has ever gotten out of a ticket by telling a cop to "Go f*** himself". In this case, they'll probalby get two. And they'll probably deserve it.

Saying that a law will be abused is not a good reason to not enact it.
I'd be willing to bet there are at least a few cases of cops willfully framing someone of murder, that's a much horrible abuse of a law, should we repeal all murder laws, as one abuse of that, is clearly orders of magnitude worse than cops "abusing" this law by giving out tickets to dudes who were "just having a good time" and "that cop was just a prick on a power trip".
