I'm sure I could spend a fair amount of time thinking about this to come up with more examples, but off the top of my head it is acceptable to speed to keep with the flow of traffic. So yes, in certain circumstances it IS acceptable.

I think so. It depends on the reason, not everything is a black and white issue so versions of right and wrong can blend from time to time.

Some laws are written by morons. You give them a little power and it goes to their heads.

If you are behind someone at an intersection, and he is turning Left while you are going straight. The law says to stay in your own lane behind him and wait for him to turn.

HOGWASH LAW!

If you simply pull out into the right lane when their is no one coming, you can go round him along with all the other people behind you waiting for you to give them room to do the same.

I'm sick of drivers who follow the letter of the law even though it is creating traffic jams. The morons creatng these laws supposedly for our own good, think we are too stupid to make sure the lane is clear beside us.

So here you are, stuck behind a person waiting forever for the straight traffic to clear in front of him before he can turn left. The light changes back to red, and this mindless driver did not possess the sense to get out in the middle of the intersection so as to turn when the light changes to red.

Ok, I've vented my anger towards people following the letter of the law no matter how many people it hurts.

a law is just a law .sometimes it is wrong .what is acceptable ,that is ,morality, is independent of the law .so sometimes morality loves trumps law .

Technically Edward Snowden broke the law, but he told us about government surveillance. He's a whistle blower, but now he's exiled from the United States. Fairly sure he was justified in his whistle blowing.

He did break the law, U.S.A was going to convict him of treason.

It is acceptable to break the law if it keeps you/others safe.

Side: It IS acceptable

It depends on which law you're thinking about breaking. If a law goes against your moral values, then it is perfectly acceptable to break it.

What you said did not make any sense as I can cite an example such as ISIS killing infidels as the existence of infidels is against their moral values.

Side: It is NOT acceptable

It might be acceptable to break the law sometimes especially if you're under an oppressive government wherein it's required to have an uprising against the government by breaking laws. Again this is not hypothetical as it has been done all throughout different scenarios in the history of revolutions.

Side: It IS acceptable

Of course. The main point of civil disobedience (seen commonly during the civil rights movement), was to nonviolently disobey just laws as a form of protest.

Yes of course it is and in certain cases it is the correct thing to do .
