Mandatory situps as a punishment sounds like a good idea honestly. I'd have no issues police offering that as an alternative to a fine in the UK for petty crimes.
Not so sure about the others though, but fair enough if it works for you guys.

Seriously, I'm astonished about the rise of people advocating dehumanizing authoritarian measures here.
It's rather unequal (for some people it's literally not a punishment, for others it's tortuous), and (less so if it is a voluntary alternative to a citation which has usual due process) it is also a denial of due process if it is summary punishment instituted by the police without judicial oversight.
The parent comment had one foot on each iceberg, but this is completely unmoored.

Anyways. I understand. won't happen again.
