In my home country there is a famous saying that roughly translates into 
"where law turns into injustice, resistance becomes duty". I guess you know 
who said it and under what circumstances.

The law has no self serving purpose. It is there to serve the people. It's 
sole role is to allow *all* of us to live better lives.

As ethical and hopefully thinking entities we should not be beyond challenging 
legal interpretation and applying common sense and ethical thoughts to it - 
especially when we get the feeling the law is harming the very people it is 
supposed to protect

In a country that has that little regards for democratic process that it can 
march it's people into an unjustifiable war even against popular opinion and 
all of this still being "legal" I have no hesitation at all acting against 
the law when it seems both necessary and ethical. Very different from acting 
against the law for personal gain.
