Saying that a law will be abused is not a good reason to not enact it.
I'd be willing to bet there are at least a few cases of cops willfully framing someone of murder, that's a much horrible abuse of a law, should we repeal all murder laws, as one abuse of that, is clearly orders of magnitude worse than cops "abusing" this law by giving out tickets to dudes who were "just having a good time" and "that cop was just a prick on a power trip".

Listen, if we need to start censoring what people are saying, fining them for it, where is our own morals and self control coming into play anymore. Nobody is going to swear because its against the law, not because its just not the right thing to do in public. Whats next? We cant use any sort of racial terms (i mean like calling someone a black person, or a native) because it might offend someone who is of color. This type of control over speech is simply a stepping stone to a future where no one is going to say anything for fear of reprisal by law. If they are upset by drunks getting out of control, then limit the amount of alchohol that may be served in public places, or give the guy a drunk and disorderly, oh but wait! That would mean less money for the community!
