      Law is never wrong. Got it.

      Oh, or was it we should have no defense in court. Whichever.

        In court you’re defending that you didn’t break the law. They have no such defense. You can’t just play Calvinball in court.

        Laws can very well be wrong, in a moral sense, and quite a few of them still in existence today are, but trying to argue that in court is usually a bad idea.

        They should. But you can’t exactly be surprised if you get in trouble because you broke the law, no matter how stupid you think that law is.
        I think it’s stupid that you can’t always turn right on a red light. Plenty of people would agree. I’ll get a ticket if I do it anyway, and it’ll be my own fault.
