Yes, definitely. My sister spanked her son in front of mom and me because she was tired from work and came over to take him home - but he didn't want to go in the mood she was in; he said "No" and before anyone could stop her, she spanked the living daylights out of him. Then she screamed at him, "Now - we're going HOME!"
"NO!" he screamed back.
"You want ANOTHER spanking?"
"No!" "Then come ON!" She practically pulled him out the door.
My brother said he spanked his daughter maybe three times in her life. How he did it, I don't know. The other brother spanked his son, but I don't know how much or as many times. I babysat all of these three at one time or another, and I never had to raise a hand to ANY of them - or any other kid I was responsible for.
Spankings given to any child, especially in front of an audience, gives the distinct impression you have lost control. It doesn't have to be your own - I would rather reason with them and work out whatever the problem is rather than hit them. Yes, I am against it.
