What matters is being seen to do something, not whether what you are doing is useful. It's a big government liberal's core philosophy.

Directly after the Manchester terror attacks which shocked the nation, the police swooped in and made 22 arrests of people they believed to have been somehow connected to the plot. But now, all 22 have been released back onto the streets of Britain, and many are left wondering if the whole thing was nothing but a sham. The fact that they were all released at the same time and were all arrested within a couple of days signifies that the investigation was conducted by assuming they acted as one; but the hard truth may be that those who provide support for terrorists are unlikely to ever be prosecuted.
The last three terrorist attacks in the UK involved directly five people: one in the Whitehall attack, one in Manchester, and three on London Bridge. They are all dead. Four shot by the police and one as a suicide. They cannot be questioned and pressure cannot be applied to them to discover any links they may have had to other plots or to sympathizers who provided instruction or materials. And this happens because it is meant to be that way.

According to an article in the Daily Mail the cops were picking up people who were just waved at by the terrorist or had any connection to him however slight (clerk in a store, etc).

That sentence makes my brain hurt.
It’s the UK. This was done to try to convince the people that the government really wants to stop m*slims from killing them. Far from it! The UK government doesn’t like terrorism, but really doesn’t get too upset over it. After all, it’s the price you have to pay to introduce *slam into the UK, which will guarantee them of millions of votes and pounds of contributions.
