You clearly do not understand the general procedure stated in European
crime laws. In most EU countries, the police cannot arrest you, after
being charged, unless they can prove that:
- you are likely to escape;
- you are likely to commit the crime again;
- you are likely and able to destroy or conceal evidence or somehow
manipulate witnesses.

Let me say this again: *after* you have been charged. This comes from
the principle that you are considered innocent until proven guilty, that
is, until the last court appeal was unsuccessful. This usually means 3
trials, and years later than the criminal proceeding start.
