My question is... how do they handle the Soccer/football matches?

[Solaris]

[bvasgm]

[Dekstar]

I'd be in more trouble if I swore infront of my parents :\

 

[StardogChampion]

I wouldn't pay either.

Thats plain bollocks! I've never heard such piffle in all my life. Sure a fine maybe for swearing at a total stranger, but during a private conversation....

 

[Laivasse]

I hate this country now.

 

[Murray_H]

I wonder if **** (c u next tuesday) gets a heftier fine.........:O

I would be fined lots if I were ever to be overheard in Dooram. I've only seen a police officer once though and that was out of term time :/

 

[Bad^Hat]

"A teenager is refusing to pay an £80 on-the-spot fine imposed by a police officer who overheard him swearing in a private conversation with friends."

"Kent Police said fixed penalty notices were just one tool to help them to tackle anti-social behaviour."

*boggle*

 

[StardogChampion]

I'm not too bothered since the last time there was a police officer on the street close enough to hear what I'm saying is... errr... never.

The guy in the video seems like a total chav so he was probably saying it loudly.

 

[madog]

No way! He has freedom of speech. If they don't like it they can wear ear plugs. You can't fix someone to go along with society otherwise you are just like a Combine piece of shit.

I thought f*** was now an official word in the dictionary , the Queen uses it doesn't she?

I think it was on an adverstisement.

[kirovman]

The sardonic part of me wants to laugh hysterically at that.

But the freedom-of-speech part of me is shattered.

"Swearing and abusive behaviour certainly is not normal"
Do you ever visit a little thing called the 'real-world' miss Rook?

BANNED!

D:

Seriously though. He's talking to his friends. That's not antisocial behaviour. :|

Silence, or you shall be disciplined! You anti-socialite!

 

[SubKamran]

Shit.

:rolling:

What? It's just a bit of poo!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Seriously, the worst that would happen here is the person would get a warning if they were swearing loudly or disturbing others. If they get hostile after that, then fine em for being anti-social.

QFT, as a matter of fact I am studying ASB at Uni at the moment

You can find the Act here. The indexing is good enough, but actually reading some of the transcripts :x

Dispersal of groups and removal of persons under 16 to their place of residence
(1) This section applies where a relevant officer has reasonable grounds for believing-

• (a) that any members of the public have been intimidated, harassed, alarmed or distressed as a result of the presence or behaviour of groups of two or more persons in public places in any locality in his police area (the "relevant locality"), and

• (b) that anti-social behaviour is a significant and persistent problem in the relevant locality.

I've been looking up and down the whole thing, and I can't see anything for swearing, that £80 fine is just made up, considering nobody actually complained about that guy

 

[Ravioli]

Weird, isnt this violating the freedom of speech?

Anyway, a guy in my school says that he cannot curse in his house and play games for more then 15 minutes (if the game is non-violence).
Feel poor for the guy, wish his parents could come to my house and they will get an orgasm of cursing My dad, mom, me, sister, sisters-boyfriend curses 24/7...and now when the olympics is on the TV, its a lot of cursing i can tell ya!

Whatever you do, do not try this :x

I'm having problems with finding "freedom of speech act" on the UK sites. Is there a variation of the name of the Act that the UK government passed?
