ACLU Defends Pa. Woman for Cursing at Toilet


SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - October 17, 2007 - A woman accused of cursing at her overflowing toilet within earshot of a neighbor says she will plead not guilty to a disorderly conduct charge.


Dawn Herb, of Scranton, could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania is expected to represent her in court Wednesday.

Herb doesn't remember exactly what she said Thursday night, but she admitted letting more than a few choice words fly near an open bathroom window.

Herb's next-door neighbor, a city police officer who was off-duty at the time, asked her to keep it down, police said. When she continued, the officer called police.

    :eek: WHAT THE FUCK???????????????????????????????????????????? Seriously?

    I read in the paper yesterday that cursing's good for ya... and I do believe that. I get much more pleasure out of saying that something's 'fucking bollox' than 'well that's not very practical' :confused:

    I fucking LOVE cursing :)

    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    That is absolutely ridiculous.... the neighbour should be fined for being a DICK! :D

    Seriously, swearing int your own house at an inanimate object is a way of life.

    Dunno how many times ive cursed at the toaster for burning my bread or the kettle for scolding me.

    Yeah that's fucked up but the really fucked up part is that the way disorderly conduct laws are written this falls within them. I mean you could be having a heated conversation with a friend on your steps or in your house about last night's game and a cop drives by, hears or sees what you're doing and if, by his discretion, either of you are being "disorderly", he can stop and arrest you. Just way too much of a judgement call...
