They are being arrested typically for behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace.

Often they're being arrested for their own safety, you only have to look at the example of the chip shop owner in Muir of Ord, who posted a video online and now her chippy has a smashed window.

Do you leave the person with the offensive sign there? I can easily see some "have a go hero" deciding to tear the sign to bits and causing a fight to happen.

Arrested for ones own protection makes no sense. That would not be protection then it would be an escape plan. If someone is putting you into handcuffs to protect you they are lying. Any victim of abuse knows the signs of gaslighting.
