Swearing

PHILADELPHIA — It’s never a great idea to swear at police.

But a few four-letter words may no longer bring criminal charges in Pennsylvania.

State police have agreed to stop citing the public for mere cursing as part of a settlement Tuesday of a federal free-speech lawsuit.

The American Civil Liberties Union represents Pennsylvanians who have been ticketed for cursing at an overflowing toilet, a swerving motorcyclist and a parking ticket issuer.

The citations can lead to hundreds of dollars in fines and legal costs.

ACLU lawyer Mary Catherine Roper says state troopers issued more than 700 disorderly conduct citations for cursing in a recent one-year span, and local police hundreds more. But she says the speech is legal as long as it’s nonthreatening.

my landlord sounds like she'd fit right in with these stupid people

[RageBeoulve]

I was sittin’ in the schoolyard, hangin’ with my crowd
When some kids came walkin’ by talkin’ really foul
Every other word was burning in my ears
So I took a new stand and I challenged all my peers

If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!
If ya wanna be my peer, please respect my ears
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!

I was sittin’ in the park, hangin’ with my friends
When we heard adults cussing. Man, it never ends.
I said I know I’m just a kid but I’ll challenge you too
They said, kid we’re really sorry, can we hang with you?

If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
Don’t cuss! C’mon!
Don’t cuss!
If ya wanna be my peer, please respect my ears
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!

Blankety blank, bleepity bleep
I don’t wanna hear that speak
Bloopity bloop, yakkity yak
Stop your cussing, clean your act

(siren)

My dad was watching news, I was trying to chill
When I heard about the language on Capitol Hill
So I guess I’ll write a letter to my congressmen
I’d like to give a challenge to my government

If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
If ya wanna hang with us, I don’t wanna hear ya cuss
Don’t cuss! C’mon!
Don’t cuss!
If ya wanna be my peer, please respect my ears
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!
All across the nation, we’ll start a new sensation
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!
Let me re-state it, keep it G-rated
Don’t cuss! C’mon everybody.
Don’t cuss!
Don’t cuss!

there was a case maybe a decade ago, i heard on the radio, how a guy was fined for calling a cop "horse cock" (which is a common curse word here), while another got clean away with "wood cock"

Ive never seen a cop react to swearing. Im sure Ive swore a ton at cops.

It is one of those things that they can bust you for if they feel like being an asshole

Randy, ALLDAYGLOWRANDY. Is that you. Have you come back to us?

i think it depends what type of cop and what type of situation

if the cop is there for guns and coke, busting down doors, kuffing dealers, a couple of "motherfucker!"-s isnt gonna add much or any to the charge

however, if someones stopped for a broken blinker, and they curse the cop out, i imagine theyll easily get a bonus fine, no?

Well that is different. Saying a swear word isnt the same as cussing out a cop. Either way you get warned first I am sure unless you run into an asshole

One time I was walking to the store and a cop made me go home - for absolutly no reason ! I was like 19 and alllllll I was doing was walking to the store.


He didnt like me   For good reasons I guess but he had NO REASON to make me just go home like that

but what could I do ? i never did get to go to the store.....

yeah i meant calling the cop stuff

ive never heard of cops reacting to random/nearby cursing not aimed at them
but curse into a cops face, and you may get fined. its illegal at least in norway, i imagine most places, as a means to uphold the authority stature of a cop. hell, some places i bet they shoot you flat down, such as... many places in africa

What did he say? Was it late at night? There's a charge I've seen in courthouse records in the paper, "common nightwalker,"
which I think means just being out on the street at such a late hour that the cops assume you're up to no good even if they have no proof.
When I went to the police years ago to report having been followed home by that creep, they were very curious as to why I was on the street at 2 a.m.
I explained that I was going to the store, but I suppose they suspected me of being a junkie picking up drugs or something like that!

It was after dark. I dont remember. That could be 4 am to me 


He told me to get the hell off the street and go home or he would arrest me. I dunno why, he was a jerk. I was kind of a troublemaker at that age so he knew me well.

So, I know he thought I was up to no good I just fail to see how he had the authority to tell me to go home when I wasnt doing anything wrong.

thats the error of _cops_

we put a special set of clothing on them, and voila, they can tell you anything they wanna, grab your arm, pull you around, slam you in a car, and lock you away

theyre still random douchebags. maybe his favorite team lost that day
