Most protest arrests in the US are released the same day or the next day. Nobody looking to make a movement is getting taken off the board.

Of course the people in power do keep trying to change that. But as of yet, they've been unsuccessful.

    While they are released it assists the police with intelligence gathering. In the UK police are known for giving bail conditions like "you can't meet within more than 4 people"

    Yeah they've been doing that for so long the American first amendment includes the right to "peaceably assemble". And I should be clear these arrests are absolutely a breach of our rights. In the US it would be unthinkable for someone carrying a gun to be arrested without provocation.
