Since when do people get jail time for profanity? If this was the case, I'd be on death row.

~Speech, spelling and grammar police~, at your service in West Scranton.

[Psycho_Bunny]

F both of those cops.

[ßuddaßudd]

Next time, she wont answer the door...

"...But cursing at a police officer isn’t a punishable offense..."

LOL That's nice to know.

They do if Dwight K. Schrute, volunteer Lackawana County Sheriff's Deputy, is on patrol...

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

...and in her own home, to boot! Truth be known, there’s probably more to the story about exactly how well she gets along with her cop neighbor, who called one of his buddies in to confront her after she cussed the toilet. But still, this is just ridiculous and make Scranton’s police department look both petty and stupid.

[Oberon]

Scranton Public Safety Director Ray Hayes said if anyone feels they were unjustly accused, they can address it before a judge.

Just wait 'til Director Hayes is on the receiving end of that one...I bet his tune changes real quick.

Anti-Porcelain hate speech?........

[zerosix]

Personally, I'd be in favor of never hearing any more of the profanity-ladened society (especially the younger folk who grew up viewing movies that use 4 profane words, three of which refer to various sexual acts, the other to excrement.

If a neighbor, who just happens to be a police office, can arrest a person for using profanity in one's own home, even when one's window is opened, the police state is here!

[econjack]

What a poor use of the court’s time...

[absolootezer0]

It happens in MI. foul language in front of a woman is a crime here.

[Mr. Mojo]

“It doesn’t make any sense. I was in my house. It’s not like I was outside or drunk,”

In a country where one can get seven years in the slam for criticizing homos, not much makes sense anymore.

[TChris]

The only reason she is being prosecuted is that the complaining party was a LEO. Really.

Complaints like this from ordinary citizens are--and probably should be--promptly ignored. But anything a fellow LEO wants, he usually gets.

[supremedoctrine]

It was the neighbor cop who yelled “Shut the F*** Up!!”??
Why shouldn’t he be charged with disorderly conduct?

[theDentist]

A guy is yelling, ‘Shut the f--- up,’ and I yelled back, ‘Mind your own business.’

Seems the guy (the off-duty policeman) should face charges too.

It's not illegal, but it's very annoying. To me, it is like those people who pull up alongside you with those horrible loud stereos playing horrid music and have their windows rolled down .. its their right to free speech. Or ugly old men who parade naked in the parks, because it is their right to free speech. Or people who stand at an open window and shout beligerant curses for you and your family to hear, because it is their right to free speech.

Forcing people to listen to your stereo music is unreasonable. Nobody takes their children to the park to subject them to the view of a fat, ugly, naked old men. Thats unreasonable. And if you want to cuss, don't force me to listen to it. I don't think children should be FORCED to listen to a filthy mouth. It's unreasonable.

I'm sorry .. but your rights end where mine begin.

[SERKIT]

Well at least she wasn’t tapping her toe rhythmically in a bathroom in Minneapolis. Now THAT would be a REAL crime!

[Tenacious 1]

I think everyone in this town should call the police when their toilet backs up from now on. They apparently have protocol and training that more qualifies them than the average citizen.

[Biblebelter]

The NYT gave a discount to a group calling an active General a traitor, and this woman gets arrested four hurling four letter names at her toilet. America turned upside down.

[weegee]

She’d better be careful not to invite her husband to have sex with her in the bedroom if he’s in the bathroom when she propositions him.
