There is a moral and ethical obligation to obey the law. If you believe as a matter of personal conviction (and not just defiance) that you must disobey a law because it is unjust or unjustly applied, this is called civil disobedience, and sometimes civil disobedience is the right and courageous thing to do. But when people engage in civil disobedience, they usually do so knowing full well that they may have to suffer the legal consequences in order to help bring about the greater good.
