i don't see the point in respecting a law that i don't agree with
2 comments

For the most part, every single person who breaks any kind of a law doesn't agree with the law they're breaking.
Then work to get it repealed. But I can't have any sympathy for you if you decide to start up a drug selling store, and then get busted for doing something you knew at the time was illegal.
i didn't ask for sympathy either. i know i'm breaking the law, i'm explaining why
Yet, this is an article about someone who did get busted for selling drugs. And people in this thread are acting like it was some kind of huge civil rights violation. It's not. He wasn't any kind of freedom fighter. He was trying to make a quick buck.
