What do you do if you disagree with a law?
#10
RE: What do you do if you disagree with a law?
Legally speaking, some States' constitutions grant the right of resistance or disobedience which basically means you can disobey a law if you believe it is against your country's constitution and fundamental principles. So, if you think a law goes against your Human rights you can disobey it and it's possible to use courts of law to request the declaration of unconstitutionality to ban the law.

However, simply disagreeing for ideological or otherwise moral reasons does not give you a right to break the law. Dura Lex, Sed Lex. Of course, it's not a crime if you don't get caught.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
