Apparently Great Britain has nothing like the First Amendment, and if you use profanity in public you can be fined £80. That’s what happened to a Goth when he remarked that a metal detector was, “piece of shit that wouldn’t stop anyone.”

You can be charged in the U.S. for using profanity in public, as well. The specific charges and potential penalties depend on locale and circumstances.
