Swearing while talking to police ?

[waterworks]

I was detained by the police and used two swear words while in normal conversation , not aimed personally at anyone , abusive to anyone and no member of the public was in sight , i cant remember the actual words but something like " i dont fxxxxxg know " or " i dont fxxxxxg beleive this" this was through exasperation at their incompetence at no time was i aggressive or resisting detention, the police threatened me with a public order offence and have used this as justification to detain me further.

As far as i can find out use of swear words like this is not an offence and the police have a higher threshold for language due to their job. Am i right or wrong ?

This is important because they have told me this in writing and I don't think it's true.
