Tuesday, December 11, 2007

A judge is set to reach a decision in the case of a woman put on trial for swearing at her own toilet.

Dawn Herb, 33, was cited for disorderly conduct after her neighbor, an off-duty police officer, called authorities to complain about her potty mouth. Herb pleaded innocent and went on trial on Monday in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

A court victory for a woman from Scranton and freedom of speech.

A judge in Lackawanna County found Dawn Herb not guilty of disorderly conduct. She is the woman who was overhead swearing loudly at her overflowing toilet inside her home. She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

However, the district judge ruled that Herb was not guilty, saying even though the comments may have been vulgar they are still protected by the First Amendment.

She no doubt had one of our new "water saver" crappers.

Ya just got to love our government. Now we have toilets that flush with half the water but you have to flush them 3-5 times.

Sounds to me like Dawn's neighbor is a total jerk! ( just my opinion)
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
I'd be in a heap of trouble if he was my neighbor....
I've been known to cuss out things around the house
Luckily; tho....my neighbors aren't too close :P

maybe she was just describing what was coming out.
She got arrested in front of everyone?,she should sue the stupid neighbor for that or at the very least once home,
swear up and down at the toilet,the trees, pull out some old Richard Pryor tapes..anything with a lot of s and f bombs

and we had to tie up the courts for this nonsense.

Maybe its just me but I probably would have went to see if I could help her out instead of calling the cops on her. What a jerk.
