Attack of the Fanboy
A bar patron claimed his Fourth Amendment rights allowed him to curse at the staff after a bartender asked him to lower his phone volumeA Denver bartender recently dealt with a difficult customer who invoked the Fourth Amendment to justify cursing at staff.
While waiting on his food, the man began playing audio at a high volume on his phone, which Jay said involved a political debate about transgender issues.
A couple in their mid-50s seated nearby appeared visibly uncomfortable, and Jay approached the man to ask him to lower the volume.
The man then began cursing at Jay directly, claiming he had been “being a d— ever since he asked me to turn my phone down.”
When the manager told him he could not speak to staff that way, the man argued it was his opinion and cited his Fourth Amendment rights as justification.
