4. This is not punishment. There has been no judgement of guilt or innocence. No facts have been tried

This is detention of a suspect who is likely to reoffend (against the public) if released before trial.

More specifically, the suspect has not provided surety that the court can trust.

This is not punishment.

The only punishments so far have been tickets, which are summary punishments and might be appealed anyway, so there have been no judgements on the tickets, either.
