Arrested for 'cyberstalking', not  "objecting".

 Which is much a bullshit charge as objecting, as was explained in the original
post**, and why the district attorney immediately shit-canned the case because
she knew the arrest both failed to meet the elements of the crime charged and
flagrantly violated the 1st Amendment.
  **North Carolina's cyberstalking statute, G.S. 14-196.3, requires repeated
electronic communications made to a person with the intent to "annoy,
threaten, or harass" an individual.
 --Rachmuth made a single post (no repetition as the statute requires).
 --Rachmuth's post was not directed *at* the employee as the statute requires.
It was *about* the employee but not sent *to* the employee in any way.
 Furthermore, State v. Bishop (2016) and State v. Shackelford (2019) have
reinforced the principle that vague and overly-broad interpretations of
cyber-stalking statutes violate constitutional protections of free speech and
press freedom.

Arresting her for "objecting" would violate her free-speech rights.
Which, according to your link, didn't happen.
Had "objecting" been her offense, she'd have been guilty at the store.
