You left out the word legally. You can legally be arrested for simply saying something online. This was not a legal arrest. Small difference

Semantics. The result is the same. The cause: no repercussions for missing the system that is in place is a bigger fallacy imho
How is it semantics? If someone posts something in a land that has laws preventing it, then they know the possible repercussions. Someone posting something where it is legal gets arrested, they have recourse for the violations done to them.
It's so not the same, I'm straining to understand what you think the point you are making is.
I'd guess the semantics is along the lines of she was still arrested, and any legal recourse she may have will take time and money with likely zero repercussions to the police dept.
Doesn't 'legal arrest' have a specific legal meaning? How have you ascertained it was an illegal arrest? And what made it illegal?
