APNewsBreak: Pa. police to end tickets for cursing
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Firing off a few four-letter words can't be charged as a crime anymore in Pennsylvania - at least when state police are involved.
State police have agreed to stop citing the public for cursing as part of a settlement Tuesday of a federal free-speech lawsuit.
The American Civil Liberties Union represents Pennsylvanians who have been ticketed for cursing at an overflowing toilet, a swerving motorcyclist and a parking ticket issuer.
