   For context, police gained support for this bylaw following this video. The guy posted the video of himself of calling an office a whore on socia media. The fact the officer was so polite and couldn't do anything about it made people furious. Of course, there is real risk of abuse of this law but that's the context.

      Yeah, hopefully this bylaw is only going to be used for extreme cases like these.

         Yes, hopefully. Let&#x27;s check in on our friends at the SPVM and see how they&#x27;re doing?
