Abstract
[quote] Peaceful protesters often do not need to be detained at all after their arrests, said Brenda V Smith, professor at the American University Washington College of Law.
If they aren’t violent and don’t pose a risk of not attending their arraignment or trial, they may be released, which frequently happens to peaceful protesters. “They could have been arraigned quickly, processed and then released,” Smith said.
