Yeah, no wonder - you rape somebody here and you have to clean the streets for a week. If you're unlucky that is. Police officers are too busy with mobile speed controls. They don't (dare) arrest anybody who's foul-mouthing them in their face. They have become laughing stock. Crime sentences (duration) are deplorable. Solved crime rates are way too low.

Do you have any solved crime rate statistics, when compared to other countries? The Police manpower is on par with the UK. And the amount of prisoners / 100.000 inhabitants is on par with Germany. See sources in my other comment.

Low solved crimes rates are indeed a problem if that's true (it seems to be, but I'm not sure), but short sentences don't have to be a problem if they're effective at stopping inmates from returning to crime. The goal should not be to lock people up, the goal should be to prevent crime.

Are you suggesting we should send people to prison for foul mouthing a police officer? And what if they foul mouthed a fellow civilian?

People expect retail workers to be nice to folk during and after they are "foul-mouthing them in their face." If we expect this from the folks near the bottom of the chain, why should we not expect this from the police? Being an ill-tempered individual doesn't make one a criminal. Nor should it.
