A New Zealand man who called police officers 'pigs' has been ordered to spend a day at a pig farm.
The 22-year-old has also been ordered to write an essay about the difference between pigs and police officers.
The man was charged with using offensive language after he hurled abuse at police during a trip to Auckland.
Community Magistrate Robyn Paterson at Tauranga District Court ordered him to spend a day at a pig farm and present a short essay on his experiences, reports The Bay of Plenty Times.
According to the newspaper, he wrote: "I was very, very drunk. I have stopped drinking because of what happened. I have wasted the police's time and my time."
He maintained the word pig could be found in the Oxford dictionary and was often used to describe police.
But added he had learned 'that there is nothing at all in common with a pig and an officer'.
yeah, but look where it was DC NZ
would never happen in this country because it might infringe his human rights by hurting his feelings or even his health and saftety, he might catch swine flu or trip over and get a hurty knee.....
noooo not in this country.....

*Could be applied to murderers and rapists*
Not sure a day at a pig farm with a written essay would have quite the same effect on a murderer/rapist Rob Maybe a day with a Traffic Pig would be more fitting
