[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1258838, member: 18945"] I agree there are some limitations on free speech, but not because of the constitution. They are placed there by the judiciary. High on the list of speech that doesn't get 1st Amendment protection? Speech Harmful to Children. [i]Speech Harmful to Children Speech that is otherwise fully protected by the First Amendment may be restricted in order to protect children. This is because the Court has “recognized that there is a compelling interest in protecting the physical and psychological well-being of minors.”85 However, any restriction must be accomplished “‘by narrowly drawn regulations without unnecessarily interfering with First Amendment freedoms.’ It is not enough to show that the government’s ends are compelling; the means must be carefully tailored to achieved those ends.”86[/i] I have never read of any case where berating police in person or in print was NOT protected speech "providing" the speech did not fall under the incitement to riot arena. SCOTUS has even confirmed flipping the bird at police is protected speech (I wouldn't recommend doing it) [/QUOTE]
