Residents in a US town have voted to make the foul-mouthed pay fines
for swearing in public.

At a town meeting outside Boston, residents voted 183-50 to approve a
proposal from the police chief to impose a $US20 fine on public
profanity.

Officials insist the proposal is not intended to censor casual or
private conversations but instead to crack down on loud,
profanity-laden language used by teens and other young people in the
downtown area and public parks.

"I'm really happy about it," Mimi Duphily, a store owner and former
town selectwoman, said after the vote.

"I'm sure there's going to be some fallout but I think what we did was
necessary."

Duphily, who runs an auto parts store, is among the downtown merchants
who wanted to take a stand against the kind of swearing that can make
customers uncomfortable.

"They'll sit on the bench and yell back and forth to each other with
the foulest language. It's just so inappropriate," she said.

The measure could raise questions about constitutional free speech
rights but state law does allow towns to enforce local laws that give
police the power to arrest anyone who "addresses another person with
profane or obscene language" in a public place.

Matthew Segal, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union
of Massachusetts, said the US Supreme Court has ruled that the
government cannot prohibit public speech just because it contains
profanity.

The ordinance gives police discretion over whether to ticket someone
if they believe the cursing ban has been violated.

Keep up the good work. Loud public cursers need their tongue
ripped out by its roots.
