Kenosha, Wisconsin: An official wants to fine the public if they swear at a police officer or a firefighter!
KENOSHA, Wis., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- An official in a Wisconsin city says he is pushing for an ordinance that would impose $118 fines on people who swear at police officers and firefighters.
Kenosha Alderman Patrick Juliana said that while the city already has an ordinance banning profane, vile, filthy or obscene language within the city limits, complaints must be filed by a third party and his proposed new rule would allow police and firefighters to write citations for language directed at them, WITI-TV, Milwaukee, reported Thursday
