I don't think that indicates that she feels she is above the law; it simply demonstrates that she is willing to break the law to do what she feels is right. As far as I understand she was arrested and given her notice to appear. She even made note of it when being escorted from the scene. If she does it again, appears surprised and taken aback by being arrested, and mentions that she thinks she's above the law then you might have a case. I just don't think we should paint her as worse than her offenses.
It sounds to me that you take issue with her not respecting the court order. I take issue with it as well and wish the order had stipulated further distances so that police could simply remove protesters that cross the line rather than letting them set up in front of the gates. Post signs for the public, allow foot traffic as long as access is not impeded, and remove people who begin protesting.
