Original Note:
Just Stop Oil members are not arrested for protesting, but rather for obstructing the use of key national infrastructure; in this case, a road way. Had they marched on the pavement, they would not have been arrested. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/metropolitan-police-just-stop-oil-whitehall-london-b1121520.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12770929/amp/Just-Stop-Oil-hauled-away-handcuffs-slow-march-central-London-Met-Police-arrest-500-eco-clowns-12-days-protest.html https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/15/section/7/enacted
