Perp walk

A perp walk, walking the perp, or frog march (Washington, D.C. English) is a practice in law enforcement of parading an arrested suspect out in public before their initial appearance in court. The suspect is typically escorted from a police station to a police vehicle to the courthouse and then after the court hearing back to a vehicle, creating an opportunity for a media frenzy to take photographs and video of the event (sometimes, if the police have alerted the media to an imminent arrest, it takes place afterwards).
