Clearly this person could easily have said what they wanted to say without using an insult.

Every right is limited. But how limited is always going to depend on where the line is....

When it comes to the press, do they have certain responsibilities that they should stick to, like "no swearing" because kids might read it, AND because journalists are supposed to be more intelligent than that.

I don't care about swear words, I'd prefer to have different categories of media.

News - only verified information, if a lie is proven either a fine or the like

Opinion or commentary - any opinion is OK but fact are verified

Other - anything goes, reader beware.

Speech is not absolute, so, yes, swearing can be legally blocked in certain venues.

Most kids already know more curse words than their parents.

When I was 8 years old I could cuss like a sailor.

 

[JoeMoma]

Curse words only have power because they are labeled as curse and "banned" in some venues.

does italy have freedom of press and speech?

No country in Europe does.

 

[TNHarley]

Italy doesnt have the rights we do.
We can flip off cops. Cuss them all we want. But under certain situations, we could be arrested for disorderly conduct.

Except the cop cannot be the complainant nor can he solicit for one.

Yes, thank you.

 

[TNHarley]

Yes, thank you.

And if he does, gladly get yourself arrested, and then sue

We have the right to flip off cops, but it may not be wise. It may inspire the cops to find something to charge you with. Also ... you might beat the rap... but you are not going to beat the ride.

You will beat it. Just record everything.
Which you should be anyway. Even without provoking them. Those assholes live to violate your rights.

It depends on how good the cop is at finding/making up a legitimate reason to charge the person with a crime.

Even if they find something, it probably wouldnt stick. If they pulled you over illegally, you can fight it.

 

[JoeMoma]

The not sticking is "beating the rap". Having the inconvenience of being pulled over and harassed is similar to "not beating the ride" even if there isn't a ride to be booked into jail. If a cop follows you long enough he can usually find a reason to pull you over. Then he can "smell" weed. He might even be able to arrange for a cop with a drug dog to come by. Of course the cop with the drug dog can get the dog to "alert" for drugs even if there aren't any and give the cops "probable" cause to search your vehicle. If you have the money to lawyer up and a good video showing the cops being stupid, you might be able to win a lawsuit. If the cop plays his hand right (isn't too stupid) he can get away with punishing you by making you endure a traffic stop. He might even find a reason to write you a ticket that will stick.

It's against your freedom of speech unless police need a little crowd control. Then it's called 'Abusive Language in Public' After the cops take you on a 5 hour trip 3 miles to the jail and you reconnect with the people trying to bail you out only then can you get out. But not to worry because you won't go in front of a judge or be fined. I don't remember if I got my bail money back which was 20 dollars, a watch, and a ring. Oh you also have to listen to everyone in the drunk tank how they are also innocent.

I hope you're not expecting me to defend misinformation, even if unintended.

You think all, or a large number of, cops are assholes?
