I'm sure you won't get fined if they over hear your saying petty swear words to your mates or on the phone in casual conversation, but mouth off at cops and you'll get a nice fine..good thing IMO

Isn't this from the side of politics that preaches "small government"? I see nothing small about regulating what people can say on the street backed up by the force of the gun.
This will be abused, just like every other nonsensical law in the book.

This isnt directed for the police. It is already a punishable offense, to say anything to an officer that they deem innapropriate. For example, swearing, use of the word pig can even land you in hot water. This new proposal is more geared towards loud mouthed yokels who feel it fine to swear loudly in public places. Attitudes that often result in physical altercations. Be that the MCG or king st.

So they should. I cannot stand going through a shopping center, which is a family friendly location, and hearing some of the language coming from some peoples mouths. Now I drop the words every now and then through the course of a conversation, but I'd expect these laws would cover the people who scream out across the street or feel the need to drop the f bomb every second word loudly. In family friendly locations, people shouldn't have to listen to it.

Waits for the next 'wonderful' law.

Walking down a shopping strip or through the city is not private property. This is the biggest media blow up, honestly, do people expect police will go around fining everyone who swears every single time? Fair dinkum, there wouldn't be enough police to police this if they were to get everyone.

Victoria is a joke. Soon they'll be charging a methane gas, they'll weigh my turds and charge me accordingly, and go through my garbage...

For some reason you think that morality can be forced into people by the state, I believe it is up to the community to raise people in such a way that laws like this aren't necessary. Freedom of speech is a necessity and it shouldn't be infringed for the majority's sensibilities.

Shopping center is either a strip of shops or a Westfield type set up. That's what they call them down here in Geelong anyways...
It's not immoral to swear. But it's damned inconsiderate in certain situations and yes you are right it is up to the community to raise people so these laws aren't needed. But this isn't happening. I run a few shops and the language I hear from kids these days they deserve nothing less than a slap across the mouth. So what do we do? Can't touch them. I can't reprimand them. I ask them to leave I cop abuse from the street which makes my other customers uncomfortable. Any ideas...? |

Dont get carried away here people.
This legislation is aimed at the trash walking our streets calling everyone every name under the sun and yelling obscenities at the top of their voices in public places because they are ill mannered and have no social skills. Hell, we all swear but know ones going to get done for dropping a swear bomb in normal conversation while you are walking down the street. But if you're yelling out to your mate at the other end of the street calling him every name under the sun while you drain the last drop out of your goon bag then, cop this sunshine.

wow amazing how more nanny state comments pop up.
seemingly you dont know the law, as swearing is already an offence. There is no "new" law. The change is now Police can give you an on the spot fine, instead of the matter going to court and wasting time in there. Every state has laws about offensive language, qld changed its last year in the same way. Police now hand out on the spot fines, instead of a court summons.

The law has got the rights already to fight the "scum"and I'm afraid society allowedyour kids in general to swear , most teens I know have very trashy mouths .and I struggle to have a conversation with them without pulling them up . I don't agree with anyone giving police these powers as mobile ticket / cash machines though . Your Freedom that we fought for is slowly eroding . Sad times indeed

It will be an interesting one....
I thought the precedent had already been set by the courts just on a year ago that it is OK and not illegal to swear in public and swear at a cop. http://www.news.com.au/national/its-...-1225901937675 Quote:
