The spitting in the face is battery. It is a crime against you. That is a case that you can defend yourself from further attack (provided witnesses don't tell the police you ran after him for a block before you relocated his nose).
The peeing on the car is not a person crime, but rather a property crime (if they would even call it that since there is no permanent damage done). The best the officer could do in the urinating caper is charge the peeing guy with disorderly conduct/breech of peace.

Yea, actually it is. In FL its titled "Exposure of the sex organs", and is a misdemeanor if the victim who sees it is 17 yoa or older. Its a felony if they are 16 yoa or under.
Cant see myself in that situation, but if it happened, the guy would get his ass kicked !!
