If a protest is authorised and legal in the eyes of those that you are protesting, is it really going to be an effective protest?

No, but if you are knowingly committing crimes as part of your protest, that falls under civil disobedience, which assumes you are willing to "do the time" for your crimes.

It's not typically expected that you commit crimes in the name of a cause and then just go home and live your life normally.

Yes, however the injustice is that only one side appears to be doing the time for laws broken.
