Besides for the prohibition of cursing any Jew, one may also not curse a Dayan - a judge in a Bet Din.
One who curses a Dayan with reference to Hashem gets two sets of 39 lashes by Bet Din.
Included in this verse is the prohibition of cursing Gcd; one who transgresses gets stoned to death by Bet Din.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Verse: "Do not curse the judge" (Shemot 22:26)
