An Obligation to Comply?
Do you believe you have an obligation to comply with “the law”? How far do you believe your obligation extends? Only to those “laws” you agree with, or all of them? What about “laws” which would require you to do something you know is wrong, or “laws” which would forbid you to do something right?
