I like this law. I don’t think it’s stupid at all. I’m tired of hearing profanity on the streets.

Apparently the writers of this law never spent time on 495/The Beltway. Swearing is endemic (especially in Prince Georges County) because no car can go faster than 25 mph due to…you guessed it…traffic.
