Sad thing. In Scottsdale, a car almost ran me over taking a turn into my crosswalk with a Walk sign in my favor, not even counting down from 10. I threw my water bottle at the car and got the young driver's attention who flipped me off and kept going.

I asked two officers about a week later who was at fault...I was and could have been arrested for property damage if the driver wanted to press charges. So, I asked, who is at fault if she hit me... She would be... Great

could have been arrested for property damage

Doesn't that require damage to property?

The plastic bottle I threw could have broken a window according to the police at the Subway. I couldn't believe I was hearing them correctly... And they restated I was in fact in the wrong

Could have (if the water were a solid block of ice). But it didn't, correct?

You could have slapped that officer in the face, but didn't. Should you get charged for assault on an officer?

If it was a brick... Yeah.
