I never suggested that this law encompasses John Doe randomly walking by the square rambling, but this is by no means a law that only refers to a particular type of public speech, such as political meetings. That is simply not true, and your accusation lacks merit, I'm afraid.
Furthermore, as I also stated, this is not about one singular country; I simply chose to use Sweden as an example, since I, quite naturally, know the laws of that country particularly well (which, however, doesn't mean that I'm entirely limited to that country either). I'm perfectly happy to, like above, relinquish that particular example if you so prefer. Naturally, that would also mean that the US and/or Canada isn't a viable example either, however. In terms of free speech as a concept, that is.
