新奇事件簿 奥地利一男子因朝警察放屁被罚

A man in Austria has been fined for a very unusual act. His "crime" was "farting loudly in front of police officers". The unnamed man was sitting on a bench in Austria's capital Vienna. The Vienna Police Department tweeted earlier this week about the man's actions. It described what happened after police officers approached the man. It wrote: "He rose slightly from the park bench, looked at the officers, and apparently¹ intentionally² released a massive fart in the immediate³ vicinity of the officers." The police immediately gave the man a fine. The offence was for "violating public decency⁴ by loudly blowing a bowel⁵ in front of police officers". It was also for making, "an unduly⁶ disturbing noise".

The fine issued to the man is for 500 euro – about $560. If the man does not pay the fine within five days, he could go to prison for five days. The Austrian police have defended their actions and say the officers were right to issue the fine. A spokesperson said the man had been doing other annoying things before he farted. The police officers who issued the fine said the man was misbehaving. They said that he had been behaving in a way that would upset other people. The spokesperson said the man only had one thing on his mind when he stood up in front of police officers, and that was to fart at them. The officers said he, "let go a massive intestinal⁷ wind apparently with full intent".

奥地利一名男子因异常行为被罚款。他的“罪行”是“在警察面前大声放屁”。当时这位不知名男士坐在奥地利首都维也纳的一个长椅上。本周早些时候，维也纳警察局发推特讲述了该名男士的行为。其描述了警察接近这名男子后发生的事情。其写道：“他从公园长椅上微微站起，面向警察，且显然是故意在警察旁边放了一个响屁。”警察立即向该男士罚款。罪名是“违反公共道德在警察面前大声放屁”。这也是因制造“令人不安的噪音”而被罚款。

这名男子被处以500欧元（约合560美元）的罚款。如果该名男士不在五天内缴纳罚款，他就会被关进监狱5天。奥地利警察为自己的行为进行了辩护，并称警方开出罚款是正确的。一名发言人表示该名男士在放屁前，一直在做一些令人恼火的事情。开具罚款的警察表示该名男士行为不端。他们称，他一直在做一些会令其他人心烦的举动。发言人称，这位男士在警察面前的时候，脑子里只有一件事，那就是朝着他们放屁。警察表示，他“完全是故意放屁的”。
