Interesting proposed by-law for Templeton: Rude, Indecent speech or behavior / $50.00 fine allowed - enforcer - police department or designee.

How much does it cost per day to house a prisoner because your honor, I cannot afford the $50.00 and I have a tooth ache that requires attention and seeing how I will be in custody of law enforcement, they need to take care of my medical needs or else a law suit happens.

Who decides rude behavior or speech; what is the definition and would that violate my free speech rights, seeing how one can burn an american flag. Seems like a power grab by the police department / selectmen.

That by-law proposal is on page 414 under the by-law section of the budget/legislative package on the town website.
