The problem is, the solution for that scenario is exactly the one you dismiss.

Now, if they jumped over the fence and punched you, then they should be dealt with.

But if they’re just shouting obscenities you can ignore it. Depending on what is being shouted, and at what time. There are already laws in place that can be used to deal with it.

Much the same as with this legislation, there are already laws in existence that can deal with much of it.
