Cursing Within Earshot of Other People

If you don’t keep your language clean, you may have to answer to the law in Rockville, Md. Here, it’s illegal to swear within earshot of other people, whether you’re on a street, sidewalk, or highway. That means even if you’re in your car, you’ll have to keep quiet if using an expletive. The penalty is a fine up to $100 and/or jail time up to 90 days.
