You're not allowed to talk loudly on a public street? Where is this, Singapore?

I am a college student in DC on an internship. I saw this on the news last night, and was pretty mortified.
Apparently, she was swearing into the phone or something, but the WMATA is displeased, to say the least.

This happened inside the Washington DC metro system.
To: harrycarey
No idea if the arrest was justified or not, but one thing is certain: there should be an ettiquette class that all people must pass before they are given cell phones. Some sort of continuing education program would also be a bonus.

I heard about this yesterday, but this is the first time I actually read HOW it happened. The headline should read,
"Woman Arrested for Disturbing Peace" or "Woman Arrested for
Cursing in Public".

Thank God she wasn't eating a candy bar on the Metro.
She would have been shot.

To: Little Pig
Thanks. This line: the officer approached her as she walked to catch a bus gave me the impression it was outside.

"You're not allowed to talk loudly on a public street?"
You're not allowed to scream obscenities on a public street - that's correct. You're also not allowed to resist arrest.

She would have been shot. Or if talking too loudly in a movie theater, she would have been maced.
To: harrycarey
She was not just talking loud... she was cursing a blue streak!!! You don't find that in the article!

Sakinah Aaron, 23, said she feared her unborn baby would be harmed when the officer forced her to the ground and put his knee in her back at a bus stop earlier this month.
The Police were just doing their jobs, following standard procedure. There is no record of any policeman ever violating a citizen.

A good, contentious thread on this subject already exists
here.

From the article:
Aaron refused to stop cursing loudly during a cell phone conversation and became abusive and uncooperative.
To: harrycarey
I can only imagine how loud she must have been cursing to engender that type of treatment.
I'd like to see a study that tracks the amount of inane conversation that takes place on cell phones.
