OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma -- If you find yourself in Oklahoma, you will want to watch what you say.
Saying a curse word in the state could cost you money, or even get you arrested. Profanity is illegal in public places, in the presence of a female, and around children under the age of 10.
Clearly the law will never withstand the First Amendment challenge. I just think there's no way that it would withhold and stand up in court, attorney David Slane said.
The law calls for a $100 fine or time in jail. While the statute is more than a century old, the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency has a poster to remind visitors about it.
The organization says while the law has been on the book for a number of years, treating individuals with respect is never outdated.
