Honestly, what did you expect? "Pretty please turn up for the trial and not kill anyone else while we're waiting?" Every country allows this if the crime was severe enough or the person is likely to be dangerous to others in the meantime. Usually there's a threshold to do that, but it's going to happen.
In Brazil there's what we call "preventive custody". If you're caught committing a crime, and if there is a risk that you could jeopardize the investigations (by eliminating evidence, threatening or influencing witnesses, etc.), then you are held in custody until the investigation is concluded.
I don't believe you would find something very different going on in any other democratic country.
Many (most?) democratic countries impose strict limits on how long you can be held without being charged. In the US, for example, you can only be held for 72 hours — at which point the police must either charge you or release you.
Even in situations where you could be held in jail, there's a tendency to let you go unless it is impossible to prevent you from jeopardizing the investigations by any other means. For instance, if the only real worry is that you flee to another country, you might have your passport confiscated rather than being held in jail. Likewise, if the worry is that you can use your influence to make others do stuff for you (stuff that jeopardizes the ongoing investigations, I mean), then you might remain at home, under surveillance, and so on.
bunch of sensitive cis white males
Look at their leaders Trump and Musk, both sensitive men-children with the emotional regulation of a toddler.
Free speech for all, until you say "incel" or question why Trump, a serial philanderer, cheater, and failed businessman, is earning the Evangelical Christians' approval.
Probably not, I can imagine that right now, some of them are on the streets, shouting racist/homophobic slurs. Or simping to yet severely deluded/unhinged take of Elon/Trump on Twitter.
The pun here is that the self proclaimed free speech absolutionist Musk bans people from saying 'cis', but not for 'sieg heil'-ing or even incitements for violence (he himself participates in that).
What's funny here is the double standard and hypocrisy, which deserve our utmost ridicule.
It's the same ridicule one can expect when they claim to be a genius businessman and then buy a company and tank its value and lose half the advertisers. Musk comes to mind here as well.
Also, what's supposed to happen to criminals before they are on trial? Normally they get jailed.
