You're usually arrested AFTER a crime has been committed, there's some evidence, in that there is a crimeAnd they had suspicion. You're not arrested on ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE, are you?

You are right, post more in all caps your brain dead recollection of who I am, it’s a really good look for you.
I DO BUTTSECKS FOR MONEY AND FIGHT LIKE CAVEMAN
It would help if the force in question didn't brutalise it's reputation by ignoring abuses of power for decades, without trust the police are on thin ice in every situation they aren't completely transparent.And they had suspicion. You're not arrested on ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE, are you?

We could prevent a lot of crimes with mandatory curfew and summary execution couldn't we?Not really, otherwise things like "going equipped" wouldn't exist, would they? Prevention is the number one way of reducing crimes from occurring...

So the line of the law moves arbitrarily depending on the event now, they're literally saying if it wasn't a once in a generation moment (which is a lie because Charles only has a few decades left) that these people wouldn't have been arrested, the only crime they committed was deciding to protest on this dayWe police proportionately and in the context of the event. This is a once in a generation moment and that has been a key consideration.
But there was evidence, a murder and he was somehow linked, these people are arrested simply for being there to protest, perhaps the murderer should have been arrested before he murdered then your friend wouldn't have to go through with that ordealAn arrest "on suspicion of" is commonplace, an acquaintance of mine was arrested "on suspicion" of murder. In fact I was personally interviewed for a character assessment. The charges were dropped. In this instance the pre emptive arrests undoubtedly saved needless aggravation and potential fisticuffs in the eyes of the world media. We need that benevolent dictator, like tomorrow![]()
Perhaps the Met could have arrested actual criminals littering the place, maybe if they arrested them when they first showed up with their test they could have been arrested on suspicion of littering

Going equipped ? Yeah they were equipped to protest, apparently now a crime

(1)A constable may arrest without a warrant—
(a)anyone who is about to commit an offence;
(b)anyone who is in the act of committing an offence;
(c)anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be about to commit an offence;
(d)anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be committing an offence.
(2)If a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that an offence has been committed, he may arrest without a warrant anyone whom he has reasonable grounds to suspect of being guilty of it.
(3)If an offence has been committed, a constable may arrest without a warrant—
(a)anyone who is guilty of the offence;
(b)anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty of it.
Breach of the peace
This is committed when an individual causes harm, or appears likely to cause harm, to a person, or in that person’s presence, to his/her property, or puts that person in fear of such harm being done through an assault, affray, a riot, unlawful assembly or other disturbance.
The basic principle is that a police officer may take reasonable action including arrest to stop a breach of the peace which is occurring, or to prevent one which the police officer reasonably anticipates will occur imminently. Reasonable action may also be taken where a breach of the peace has been committed and it is reasonably believed a recurrence of the breach is threatened.
The point is the police were arresting people for going armed with placards and using the lame reason of preventing a breach of the peace. They can use that any time they like, who is to say if there would or wouldn't be one, its open season for the police. We are moving closer to a police state and some here seem to celebrate it.
Why were they not charged if they were found "equipped" commit their crime ?No they weren't. Don't make things up. It's already been mentioned multiple times why they were arrested.
