Back in 2002, a man from Painesville found himself on the receiving end of a rather strange and unusual punishment. His crime? He had decided to refer to a police officer as a pig during a confrontation and it was decided that this was just simply not good enough.

Because of his crime, the judge decided on a different kind of punishment and it ultimately led to him being forced to stand on the street at a busy junction holding a sign that said ‘this is not a police officer’ and beside him was a real, live pig.

You have to admit that this was certainly a case where the punishment did indeed fit the crime.
