>Arrested is not the same thing as being charged. The latter is what would lead to a trial. Often the entire point of the arrest is to get restrictive and onerous bail conditions imposed on people. Frequently restricting their speech on social media by threat of imprisonment for violating their bail conditions. That the charges are later dropped isn't the point. | ||
