This is going to be interesting with graduation cap decorations which are common and sometimes used to share political beliefs

The second word in "Civil Disobedience" is "Disobedience", it always comes with the threat of arrest or legal backlash.

It's kind of the point, really. You protest in ways that are disruptive because that gets attention. However that's always going to come at the risk of legal backlash.

Not that they're always right for responding legally, but if they didn't the act of protest would lose It's effectiveness. Without the threat of arrest, it usually doesn't get attention.
