Is it illegal to curse at a  police or be respectful to him?

It is not illegal but it is not very smart either. They came get you for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct or obstruction of justice and take you in for those. At a minimum you would get printed and probably get to sit in the clink for a short while. You may win in court but is it really worth it?

I know what you mean. I told a cop to move out of my way once and he started barking orders at me. Stupid sobriety checkpoints.

In the United States a citizen has a right to voice their opinion. This is called Freedom of Speech and unfortunately you cannot do much about it.  If that person were to infringe on your rights, or commit an act of violence because of your nationality/creed it would be a hate crime.  The best thing to do is to keep on going and ignore their hateful comments.  If you let an idiot affect you, what have you become?  an idiot.  So don't let these people get beneath your skin because thats what they want.  If you take steps to silence this person, well that would be infringing on their rights, so its best to just ignore them and move on.

Probably a lot.  I've heard a lot of officers swear in my day!

I am not really sure. I have spoke to several different police departments and very rarely have I been treated with respect.  It doesn't make sense to me. You would think that they are providing a public service, and they would at least try and be civil. I have heard them sigh, mumbled, and get irritated. Fortunately, I was not in an emergencey situation but I can't imagine if I was.  I don't buy into that they are so busy. Isn't that their job????/

I have a friend who was arrested for it. If the music is too loud they can ask you to turn it down, write you a citation or just take you to jail. Its up to the cops and how you act toward them.

I do believe that refusing a lawful order from a policeman, such as to get out of one's car, is a clear violation of the law, and is considered resisting an officer. \n\nPersonally, I think such people should have some teeth knocked out with a truncheon and a few lumps put on their heads, but that's just how I roll.\n\nAs for the dog, if the owner can't control it in a crowd, while the police are arresting someone on the ground, it certainly is the correct call.\n\nAgain, personally, I think that breaking it's little spine with a well placed truncheon blow would be better, but that's how I roll. I don't take kindly to vicious dogs on the loose.

I sure hope not.  There should never be any governmental interference in speech that is offensive or hate filled.  Only when there is clear evidence that the speech is a direct threat towards an individual should the law be able to take any action. If people could be jailed for offending, we all would be wearing prison uniforms.

depending on where you are from..I am sure laws change from place to place..I would suggest speaking to a lawyer..most will allow you an hour of their time to sit and talk..for free...but the police cannot continue to pull you over or stop you for no reason..4 times for me ..I went to the police station..told them one more time and there would be police harrasment charges laid...it ended there..good luck to ya..gotta hate the cops on power trips

Anything that you do or say to hinder a police officer from doing their job can and will be taking as an obstruction..

It is very seldom enforced, but it is called "Verbal Assault" and it can be prosecuted. It normally gets dropped for sake of other charges that are bigger. The best thing to do when someone is being verbally belligerent towards you is nothing. Give them no response at all and don't do anything for them. If they ask why, tell them. Sooner or later they get the hint or go somewhere else.

No, at least not in the US. It goes with the whole "freedom of speech" thing. The first amendment says:\n\n"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."\n\nIf someone is telling you how to speak in your own backyard, your first amendment rights are being violated.\n\nHowever if you're cursing loud enough to disturb your neighbours, then you're infringing on their rights, in which case you can be charged with a disorderly persons offence.

You know, it's probably best for me not to vocalize on this subject but I'm going to take the plunge and do so.\n\nI have had the same problem so far in my life.  I find that the Police are very arrogant and misuse their authority.  I know policemen that break the law regularly: smoking pot, taking steroids, and blowing off illegal fireworks on the 4th.  Yet, turn around and give me a ticket for going 5 miles over the limit.\n\nTruly, someone needs to do some undercover type work and expose many of the corruptions in the police force.  They are in a position to abuse authority...and they do so, and don't get caught.  They don't seem to view the public the same as other people do.  They have exalted themselves, in some way, above the public.\n\nIn the average cop, you'll find a good portion of Arrogance.

Yes, but it depends on what you are talking about. If you don't get satisfaction then approach your local member of parliament either for the state or federal government and explain the problem. You can make official complaints but I would go to a seperate police station to the one you were having trouble with. Remember thought that the police are neutral and may not see things your way, they have to enforce the law not your perception of it.
