Yes it appears that the police can arrest you for farting should you point your blast in their direction. Be aware, be cautious, and cross your fingers and hope that you do not get pulled over for speeding after having that huge bean burrito for lunch.

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.
Authorities said Jose Cruz was pulled over for driving without headlights. Police said he smelled of alcohol and failed three field sobriety tests. He was hand-cuffed and taken to the police station for a Breathalyzer test.
A criminal complaint charged that Cruz scooted his chair toward an officer, then lifted his leg and "passed gas loudly."
Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but he said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman.
He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station.
He faces charges that include drunken driving and battery on a police officer.
