If that's the worse one came up with, and if it was even settled in court, then it's nowhere near close to the way the US is.

You can walk on a highway in Denmark? If that's not the case, the cops may have arrested/forcefully moved the wrong person.

You can't, but the immigrants did, and so did police too to follow them, and of course photographers and journalist documented it, in which case the police forcefully removed the journalists and the photographers.
At this point, this particular highway was closed off from traffic because of the immigrants and police, if I recall correctly.
In any case, I'm no expert on the matter, but the actions of the police that day were deemed unlawful by the court.

In Denmark, a case[1] where police forcefully escorted photographers and journalists away that were following immigrants that were walking a highway as they entered Denmark a couple of years ago, has just been settled, and the behaviour of the police were indeed unlawful.
And it's not just a fluke. It seems to be an increasing trend, unfortunately. Not blindly trusting officials is probably pretty smart.
