I was thinking about this earlier actually, and it just strikes me as a stupidly wide-cast law if indeed there is no provision for reasonableness in that law. It means people can be arrested and convicted for saying 'hello' to their neighbours if the neighbours take offence. In the case in question, the police could round up the kissing couple, the landlord, and anyone else that commented either verbally or gesturally.
