sw44wcf: Here in Reno, you can get arrested for flipping someone the bird. It's called "Provoking Assualt". Any word, action, or gesture used to try to get someone to take a poke at you, or even to just tick them off so they WANT to take a poke at you. Yeah, it's a BS charge...until you've got some little POS of the variety that LawDog describes who just won't shut up and be a good boy, and then gives you the one finger salute when you politely try to tell them it's time they go back inside their apartment and sleep it off, and you can't arrest for public intoxication since 1) you need a breathalyzer test and 2)you're security with no access to a breathalyzer and 3) you can't "detain" him/her until police arrive, since security doesn't have the power to "detain"...Then, it comes in REAL handy. Arrest him for provoking assault, charge him with battery when he resists, and then see what kind of good stuff the cops find on him when they get there...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
