Accused was convicted under s.353 for using criminal force against a public servant; despite mitigation (early plea, first offender, remorse, low income), the offence attacked a firefighter performing duty and required a clear deterrent message. Balancing principles and precedents, a custodial sentence of one month imprisonment is warranted to protect public interest and deter similar conduct.
