Have you ever intentionally broken a law because you thought it was unjust?

[Still-alive]

Not all laws are the same and some you might even disagree that it should be a law. So then have you ever intentionally broken any laws because you felt they were unjust or disagree with them as laws.

Yes i have broken a law intentionally because i felt it was unjust

No i have always followed the law even if i felt any might be unjust

I guess so in a way with drugs in the US. I don't see the point of reporting my friends for smoking pot (it was illegal back then) or using shrooms or whatnot. So I was complicit.

I also later tried some of them myself. Good fun!

I don't see what putting people behind bars for this is supposed to do except turn us into tattooed types who might want to commit even bigger crimes.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Like say I got put in prison for drug possession back then. And I do my time, maybe get raped or something, work out all the time, find my clique, talk about shit we'll do when we're out. This is not training me to avoid repeating my mistakes in the future except maybe to avoid smoking weed. This is putting me in a true, IDGAF mindset. So I'm gonna do something bigger, better, next time! Let's rob a bank!

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

So I don't agree with the idea of putting people behind bars for drug use and possession. Rehab maybe, not bars. Put me behind bars back then and I'm not gonna come out some super honest, straight-edge citizen. I'm gonna make connections to do hard crimes, think it was bullshit that I even had to serve my time in the first place, and come out ready to snort coke off hookers and speedball it with meth, start buying an arsenal of guns and other weapons, be ready to self-destruct and bring the entire world down with me if I have to. So I think it's a dumb idea and so that's why I never reported my friends when they did drugs, and didn't report myself when I later tried them as well.

Yes. I refuse to obtain a dog license for my dogs. They are all vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and on a leash but I refuse to concede that I owe the government money for the right to own a dog. They provide no service for their fee, no protection to my dog, and nothing but unnecessary bureaucracy.

Oh sure. Drinking at 18 years old. You can vote and die fir your country but drinking is illegal lol. Tell that to college students on a weekend lol.

Same with marijuana usage in my state.

[electromagnetic]

Marijuana and shrooms maybe back when they were illegal. But now that weed is legal, it’s kinda lost its appeal.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I did about age 13

[goaded]

Does speeding count? It's not that it's unjust; they save lives, but sometimes they're unreasonable.

[DrPepper12]

I did it as part of a protest (trespassing, disorderly, obstruction, blah blah blah) and I'd do it again too!

[TKasap]

Drank before turning 21 and using some else's WiFi

[Goahead76]

Red traffic lights at 2am at empty intersections, yes.

[andreasderjuengere]

But of course. Frequently.

[llorando]

Yep, I jaywalk all the time.

[Wiredone]

I drank before I was 21 years old
