It's not legal to arrest him without telling him the offense he committed.
He gets arrested, gets thrown in jail for a day or two until he can get his trial, and then the whole proceeding is nullified because no one ever told him what he was arrested for (and his rights were not read)
The cops are not punished for throwing him in jail until he can get to court to be declared innocent, but the reason for arresting someone is because there is positive evidence that the person is guilty of some charges.
It is an illegal action, with no repercussions to the police, that is heavily used against protesters. In Seattle hundreds and hundreds of people were arrested and I believe not one of them was sentenced guilty. They only did it to clear out the streets as there are no repercussions to it.
