[ QUOTE ]
is it illegal to fart in someones face?
can i go up to a cop and fart right in front of him and waft it in his face and get away with it? can you assault someone like that without touching them or saying anything?

I dont know about the particular situation, but you can assaut someone without touching them. I'm too lazy to find a reference, but I'm sure someone will.
Assault is harming someone or causing them to believe you will harm them or something like that. For the later, touching is not neccesary.
Battery, by definition, has to involve physical contact.
