  Very true. If spitting only provided a "slap on the hand" penalty, you'd 
have criminals spitting all over police officers in hopes of giving them a 
discease.

  People need to learn to behave. If you are getting arrested for one thing, 
don't go and beat up and spit on the police officer too. If you think your 
innocent then you have nothing to worry about most of the time (and even if 
spitting didn't permit a life sentence it should have been obvious that to 
anyone who is smart enough to be in society that you just don't do that kind 
of stuff.
