In short.....she was cussing loud enough for others to hear. She was asked to stop. She didn't. It turned out the guy who asked her to stop happened to be a fire marshal in the community and that in this community her behavior was against the law. She received a ticket.
BFD. This has nothing to do with civil rights, it has to do with civility.

It does seem like a simple matter. But it could also be the beginning stages of one of those where-does-it-end? things as well.
Consider this:
Warning labels
No smoking on planes
No smoking in the workplace, go to the lounge
No smoking in the lounge, take it outside the building
No smoking outside the building, take it out in the street
No smoking in the street, take it home
You have neighbors and/or children at home! NO SMOKING EVAR!!!!!!!
Laws like this are like potato chips to extremists; they can't just stop at one.
