An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.

It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.

Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society.

That which is not just is not law.

Criminals don't care what the law is.

Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all.

One thing I learned a long time ago as a prosecutor is that it's tough to get people to obey a law if there is not penalty for breaking it.

We don't want to put people in jail unless we prove that they knew they were doing something they shouldn't do.
