    For the major crimes, yes.

    Murder, theft, etc.

    But for other crimes, like the one in the article, it’s moral to resist.

      The vast majority of laws cover petty things that may or may not be moral rather than the big stuff, though.

        “I took six parking spots, three handicapped, as a moral and political position and statement. As such my actions are protected political speech and unless you are duly sworn in by the coast guard you can’t do shit you see that gold fringe on my license placard? I answer only to the Admiralty Board. Now agents of corporate have put three boots on and a glued this mermaid titty clamp onto the front of my primary turbine familiar domicile conveyance and I mailed them a quit and go away deed. They ain’t quit and go away. What words I need put on my quit and go away deed?”

        The vast majority of laws are regulations. And the vast majority of those were written in blood.

        They can mostly be summed up as, “don’t do that, or do this specifically, because someone could die otherwise”.

          The big ones, yes. A lot more are “Don’t do this because it isn’t in the best interests of those in power for one reason or another.”
