Police State death squads arrest 700 sheeple for cussin

According to an ACLU lawsuit, the Pennsylvania State Police charged hundreds of people with disorderly conduct for swearing. “American Civil Liberties Union lawyers say they reviewed 770 such citations issued by state police in a recent one-year span and found that most of them involve profanities and other legal, nonobscene speech,” reports the Associated Press.

Despite their illegality, disorderly conduct charges for use of profanity are common in Pennsylvania. The ACLU-PA has successfully defended about a dozen individuals against them, including most recently a Scranton woman, Dawn Herb, who swore at her clogged toilet in her home and a Pittsburgh man, David Hackbart, who flipped off a police officer in a dispute over a parking space. The Pittsburgh case, which resulted in evidence that the Pittsburgh police cited people for profanity about 200 times over a four-year period, resulted in a $50,000 settlement in fall 2009.

"Unfortunately many police departments in the commonwealth do not seem to be getting the message that swearing is not a crime," said Tuthill. "The courts have repeatedly found that profanity, unlike obscenity, is protected speech. We will continue bringing lawsuits until this illegal practice is stopped."
