If you want to appeal to the law you're supposed to come with clean hands. If you've been doing illegal activities and during the course of those illegal activities someone steals from you, assaults you, or otherwise wrongs you, the law isn't going to help you - and nor should it. The law isn't there for people who are doing the wrong thing, it's for those who are doing the right thing. So yes, in a sense by doing something illegal you do indeed give up the rights you have to protection under the law. The situation is the same for a woman that takes out a retraining order against an abusive man - if she moves back in with said man, she can't then have him arrested for breaking the retraining order, it's an abuse of the courts and a waste of taxpayer money, time and resources to help someone who is doing the wrong thing. Same concept.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
