Tony Parker causes idiot fan to cause scene.

I do not think it is correct that merely using offensive language in public is illegal. The first amendment protects speech that is offensive in public spaces, or "public forums." Outside of "fighting words," which has basically been abandoned for the last 50 years.

case on point regards a guy who wore a jacket that said " the draft" in the hallway of a courthouse. The Supreme Court said the statement was protected speech, and nothing has changed that in public spaces.

Obscenity in the free speech context only pertains to (essentially) child porn and porn that fails the "miller test." Outside the scope of the discussion here, I assure you.

A cop has a lot of discretion in giving tickets and can call your actions all sorts of crimes, but if push comes to shove, offensive speech outside of the media and at schools is supposed to be protected, and in court you would have a good argument that that is the case. Of course, then you have to get a lawyer and spend several grand to argue over a $200 ticket.

California Penal Code 415 states;

"Any of the following persons shall be punished by imprisonment
in the county jail for a period of not more than 90 days, a fine of
not more than four hundred dollars ($400), or both such imprisonment
and fine...
(3) Any person who uses offensive words in a public place which
are inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction."

Don't have time to look up Texas.

That's why I "never" go up to any Spurs I happen to see. I don't care how nice they seem on tv, I leave them alone. After all, except for their status, they and piss just like the rest of us. I don't blame Tony on this one, but if it did happen, I would've thought Tony would've told his brothers to calm down and not act like fools.
