A man named Black was arrested for using foul language, saying 'F*** your mother,' at a police station due to emotional outburst, but was ultimately declared innocent by a judge, deeming his actions as minor. The incident occurred in October 2023 when Black went to the police station twice to disturb the officers, leading to his arrest for insulting a public official. However, Black argued in court that he was actually trying to file a report and only uttered the foul language once out of emotional distress, with the judge finding insufficient evidence to convict him. The judge concluded that Black's behavior, although offensive, was within the limit of what a reasonable person can tolerate, lacking the intention to obstruct official duties. Despite being acquitted, the case remains open for appeal.
