Middleborough OKs $20 fines for swearing in public

Middleborough OKs $20 fines for swearing in public

Have they defined which words are swears?  Who makes that determination and why?    This one runs into our constitutional right to free speech.  Once again, the cost of living in a free society is dealing with the unsavory effects of freedom.

Seems to me, that the problem here is disturbing the peace by yelling.  I have no issue with censuring this.  But the content of the yelling should not be banned.
