You say the U.K is a police state yet look below for some real laws in Australia and I do mean real
Australia Law: It is illegal to force a kangaroo to drink more than 6 bottles of beer.
Australia Law: It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar.
Australia Law: No man under 4ft 8 inch is alowed to surf on Klondike Beach (due to the size of the waves.)
Australia Law: It is illegal to walk on the right hand side of a footpath.
Australia Law: Victoria: It is illegal to wear sexy pink pants after midday on a Sunday.

[No, his swearing in no way controlled or influenced how long he stayed in jail. He was in Jail for two days because he went in jail on a Saturday and there was no JP available for two days.

The amount of time he was in jail has NOTHING to do with his swearing at the police. It has only to do with the fact that there were no JP's available until Monday, which is typical.....Nothing out of the ordinary....

He could have paid a fine and be let out, gone to court on Monday and gotten the money back if he won.

He opted to stay in jail.... Yet for whatever reason you keep trying to convince everyone that he was forced to stay in jail for two days because he swore at a cop.... THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

Then that's a broken system. Rather than deny a person of their liberty, they should have courts open 24 hours, or at least have 24 hour JPs. No one should spend a weekend in jail for swearing at a cop.
