And is sneezing a good defense for a spitting rap?

It's called mens rea (criminal mind).
You have *intent* when spitting, not when barfing (unless you're a model, perhaps).

Spitting is a voluntary act of disrespect

Spitting has intent. All crime must have intent or they are not crimes (exception is if the prosecution can prove negligence).
