In theory, "freedom of speech" means you can't be prosecuted based on 
the content of speech. I.e., you'll get fined for screaming loudly in 
the middle of the night and waking up the neighbors, regardless of 
whether you're talking about Jesus or Satan.

In practice, of course, cops are human beings, many of them completely 
happy to beat the crap out of you even when it isn't legal, because they 
know they can get away with it.
