Using “obscene” gestures in public or uttering language considered to be abusive or obscene can subject you to a conviction for breach of the peace under C.G.S. § 53a-181(a)(5).
Public exhibition of material about another that is considered abusive, indecent, or offensive can also constitute a violation of the statute, under C.G.S. § 53a-181(4). Finally, someone who creates an offensive or hazardous condition in public without a permit may also be found guilty of breach of the peace in the second degree under C.G.S. § 53a-181(6).
