Where did the meme come from that civil disobedience requires you to sit in jail afterwards?

83. The government cannot enforce laws that violate the constitution

The constitution has put limits on what the government is permitted to do. When they go across those lines, it is illegal.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
-4th Amendment

The NSA is collecting our data and communications. They then promise not to look at this data until they first go to a secret court for a secret warrant. A secret court that has approved over 99% of requests. There is practically no oversight. There is no transparency! This violates the check and balances of the republic. This is putting the cart before the horse. The way it's supposed to work is the government gets probable cause of a crime being committed. They then go to a civilian judge, the judge issues a warrant, and THEN they can begin collecting data on that targeted person. That's the way it's supposed to work!

If that means it makes it harder or impossible to track certain terrorists....TOO FUCKING BAD! Not my problem. Im not sacrificing my rights so you can enjoy an illusion of safety.
