Not allowed is really allowed in most cases here. I really dont fault the guy. I think its worse that people uphold the rules in the MRT only, as soon as they leave they couldn’t care less how their behaviour effects others. ---

Looks like the drinker got off with the much lighter penalty, compared to the knife-wielder. But because the drinker also flipped the bird, that opens him up to possible liability under the public insult law, right? Any idea what the current penalty for that is? An [old thread](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/flipped-the-bird-charged-under-taiwans-public-insult-law/60661) says it was NT$300, but public insult [might carry fines up to NT$9000](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/got-into-an-argument-with-a-bus-driver/234590/170). ---

Did you expect giving someone the middle finger to be treated the same as pulling a knife on someone?!

Possibly but there’s been at least one case recently where a judge decided, in a road rage type case, that the action was fleeting and therefore not a compensation worthy public insult. ---

> [@SuperS54](#): > > Did you expect giving someone the middle finger to be treated the same as pulling a knife on someone?! Although it did happen in Taiwan I guess so anything is possible… I was getting my laws mixed up. The public insult law seems to carry low fines, but I think the public defamation law of [Article 310](https://mojlaw.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawContentE.aspx?LSID=FL001424) can carry a fine of up to NT$15,000. ---
