There can’t be effective learning if there aren’t clear and public post mortems on instances where the Code of Conduct was violated or wrongly invoked and what the correct action should have been. No one really does this. I was at a conference once where someone was arrested and taken away in handcuffs. To this day I have no clue what he could have done to realistically end up in that situation besides physical assault.

If somebody was arrested, it's obviously because they were believed to have committed a crime. There are many crimes available.
Codes of conduct are generally about behavior that isn't criminal, because once you've crossed that line the appropriate response should be obvious.

Maybe they didn't have a green card or something? Honestly, action by law enforcement is unlikely to be due to a Code of Conduct except as a trigger for violent behaviour.
