I'm sure we all know some laws we feel are just plain wrong.
Be it outdated laws on rape stating that it's impossible for a woman to commit rape, minor nonsensical laws prohibiting things you feel are socially accepted or silly laws that are impossible to enforce like some of the internet laws we've seen.
How do you deal with them?
Do you follow them, trusting that they are there for a reason even if you do not see that reason? You believe it more likely that you yourself are mistaken then that those that make those laws and have access to much more data and knowledge then you are mistaken.
Do you follow them whilst they are there but when possible you open the discussion about them and/or campaign to have them changed? You believe you're correct about that law being wrong but you have faith that in due time they'll be changed through the standard political process.
Do you follow them whilst authorities (police etc.) are near but disregard them when there are no consequences to them? You also open discussions about them and/or campaign against them. You believe wrong laws are not worth following but neither are they worth getting into trouble for. The political process will change them eventually but in the mean time you're not going to be inconvenienced by them.
Do you disregard them at all times and actively protest against them? You believe wrong laws are not worth following and that the political process needs to be pushed ahead in order to get the changes that are needed, even if forcefully (not necessarily violently).
