The Vienna Police department defended the fart fine in a burst of tweets, NAN reports have indicated.

While the Police do not fine accidental flatulence, the young man “slightly rose from a park bench, looked the officers in the eye and released massive bowel gas in their immediate vicinity, apparently on purpose,’’ the department wrote.

Whether they’re loud or silent, stinky, or odorless, everyone farts.

Doctors say the average person farts anywhere from five to fifteen times daily, according to Healthline.

Farting is a normal part of digestion that reflects the activity of the bacteria in your gut. You might also notice that you fart more when you eat certain foods that are more difficult to digest, such as beans or raw vegetables.

While farting every day is normal, farting all the time is not. Excessive farting, also called flatulence, can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. It might also be a sign of a health problem. You have excessive flatulence if you fart more than 20 times per day.
