What the @%#!? Obscene language on Myrtle Beach could get you a fine
Here’s a four letter word for using profanity in Myrtle Beach: don’t.
Doing so is a misdemeanor and falls under the city’s disorderly conduct offense, according to the Sun News, a Myrtle Beach local paper.
The penalty for using lewd, obscene and profane language toward others in a public place is a fine or even jail time, Sun News reported. Offensive words include “libelous expletives” or “fighting” words, Sun News said.
Last year the city collected over $22,000 from profane language citations — which amounted to 289 tickets, each of them a $77 penalty, Sun News reported.
In the last three years, the city has seen the amount of money collected from the citation rise by $6,000, Sun News showed.
