I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

Ah, if you INSULT a police officer, that’s what’s punishable. That’s actively antagonising them, not just not liking them.
Mind you, I don’t think insulting a police officer should hold any more severe punishment than insulting anyone else. So yeah, that’s bullshit.
I’m in Germany, there’s a common myth that “Beamtenbeleidigung”, insulting an official, is a criminal offence. It’s not - if you insult anyone, regardless of their job, they can sue. Police are just more likely to actually go through with that because they have a reputation to uphold.
