> This is akin to how two kinds of people respond to law. The first kind think "This is the law, we must follow it" and the other kind think "This law doesn't make sense, we must change it". There exist more kinds: - the "rebel": "this is a law/rule, so I have to trespass it". This often holds for people who are either annoyed by rules or red tape or for people who see no hope of changing the law. An example are the "blade runners" in London who organize to destroy lots of surveillance cameras at once, in particular those that are used to enforce low-emission laws. [1] - the "evil": "this is law, so I will (ab)use it for my personal gain". [1] https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/ulez-cameras-van... |

The evil is just a subset of the first type, abuse and use are functionally the same action within a poorly or properly constructed law/policy.
