US: Police Fine High School Students for Cursing
HARTFORD, Conn. - Bad words are costing Hartford Public and Bulkeley high schoolers $103 each.
Police officers assigned to the schools have fined about two dozen students for cursing in a new program to curtail unruly behavior. The joint effort by school and police officials targets students who swear while defying teachers and administrators.
"We're sending a message to the parents and to the teachers," said Sandy Cruz-Serrano, senior adviser to Superintendent of Schools Robert Henry. "We are trying to bring back order to the schools."

How is fining children going to bring back order anywhere? Where is the money going to - staff salaries? This is wrong and shameful. Not to mention, not everyone can afford to pay 100$ for something so uninportant. What happens if these children don't pay?
I don't see how this could be legal.
well fine me then cause I think this fucking stupid
