Difficult one. To use the classic example, "Freedom of speech doesn't protect the right to shout "FIRE" in a theatre".

If you want a different example with the same principles, traditionally someone causing a disturbance would be done for breach of the peace- if a drunk is arrested for shouting for an hour at 5am, does that restrict his free speech?
