If anything will bust someone's ticket, it'll be that the student was
carrying a passenger. Or was the PPL the PIC?

Well, yea.

I must say, the sight of one sitting on the ground cuffed while the other
was cuffed prone, flat on the runway made me sick and angry. It was
unnecessary.

It was very necessary. You know what they did. How were the law
enforcement people to know what these guys intentions were? They must
assume the worst until evidence proves otherwise.
