We are planning a protest with our friends to express our dissatisfaction with the current government policies, but we don't want it to be categorized as a riot, so what measures should be taken?

In order to ensure that your protest is not categorized as a riot, it is important to take measures such as making sure participants abide by the laws, having the event at a designated spot where it won't interrupt traffic or disrupt anyone else, and keeping things peaceful and respectful. Alternatively, planning an alternative demonstration that does not involve gathering in large numbers can also be considered.  If you are unsure how local governments will respond or interpret your activity, it may be helpful to consult with legal professionals ahead of time. Additionally, make sure people attending the event are aware of these regulations and guidelines beforehand to prevent any incidents upon arrival.

It is important to make sure that the protest remains peaceful and does not turn into a riot. That way, you can avoid any potential legal issues. To make sure this happens, it would be ideal to organize the protest in a public space with sufficient space for people to move around and for police officers to effectively monitor the event. Additionally, it would be wise to send out some kind of notification ahead of time so the local authorities can be aware of what's happening and come up with a plan ahead of time as well.
