here in Pittsburgh, a Police Officer arrested a man who had called the Police Officer a name. I think it was "asshole" and maybe a few other words.

The charges were disorderly conduct & some add ons. A judge threw all charges out saying that the man had a right to use that language & because it was directed at a Police Officer did not make it a crime.
