sassing a flight attendant
that's not what he did. He got belligerant and THREATENING and refused to move from a secure area when asked by flight attendants. He was rightly seen as a threat to the safety of the plane.
He was charged and held until his hearing, just like in the US (one doesn't always qualify for bond here either). His punishment for his crime was either $1,000 or time served plus a few more weeks.
Heck, parking in a handicapped-accessible parking space is a $500 fine in my state, so threatening airline staff during a flight and threatening the safety of a plane full of people should be a higher fine, I think.
