I wonder why? So that we can all exercise our right to vent profanity without fear of prosecution?

Yes, basically. We don't prosecute non-threatening speech, no matter how nasty or rude. Even when cops hear it and don't like it. The police are not the arbiters of good taste, nor are they community censors.

Seems like the community set the standard, not the cop. Can't enforce a law that never got passed.
