Sorry, I can't agree with that. He "made an internationally known obscene gesture when he was being photographed by the Federal Police" and "will be charged with disobeying authority." You do that in the United States and you will also get jailed/charged for acting like a fool.
Hmmmm...acting like a fool...never heard of that crime. If the posted picture is what he is charged for doing, I think the charges will soon be dropped.
