“The Curse of Pennsylvania”

The ACLU announced the settlement of a protected speech lawsuit that ends the practice of Pennsylvania’s State Troopers issuing Disorderly Conduct citations to people for swearing. Before the settlement, Pennsylvanians said the tickets violated their freedom. Now they say the tickets were “f*cking bullsh*t.”

If you thought about a swear word but didn’t say it, you would be let off with a warning.

Philadelphia Eagles fans had started to just be taken straight to jail.

Unfortunately, without being able to ticket people for swearing, all the state’s police can do now is try to solve or stop crimes.
