ARRESTS/CONFINEMENT
There are risks involved if your efforts become too forceful. While many forms of civil disobedience carry the risk of arrest, many people decide that this risk is worth taking if it means they are sending a message to an unresponsive government.

Getting arrested and facing time in jail may be a deterrent for some, but these risks can become even more remarkable when the authorities get involved. Confining protestors to certain areas or corralling them onto buses has happened multiple times during protests such as Occupy Wall Street and the 2014 Ferguson Riots.

People have made their opinions very clear on how they feel about these tactics saying that “you do not need a license to peacefully assemble” and “a bus is not a freedom cage.” As much as demonstrations make you feel passionate and emotionally charged, there comes a moment where it’s essential to stop and realize why you’re protesting in the first place.
