Philip Arps saluted the judge and marched out of court whistling this morning ... after the charge was dropped at the Christchurch District Court.
He was jailed for 21 months last year for spreading footage of the Christchurch mosques massacres.
He was arrested on August 25 - the second day of Brenton Tarrant's historic sentencing hearing - for visiting a store beside Linwood Mosque.
But Judge Peter Rollo agreed with Arps' defence counsel that there was no evidence of a breach.
