TABER, Alta. – The southern Alberta town of Taber has adopted a new bylaw that targets bad behaviour.

The bylaw includes a $75 fine for spitting in public.

Double that to $150 for yelling, screaming or swearing in a public place.

The bylaw was adopted by Taber town council late last month and was also reviewed by the police commission and Taber Police Service.
