The law and the constitution are not necessarily superior to ethics, however, they are more clearly defined, and they are enforced by the government. There are certainly some cases in which a particular individual has a better understanding of ethics than the police, judges, or other officials with whom he or she may be dealing. There are also lots of cases in which individuals have less understanding or less concern for ethics than government officials do. But in either case, governments have considerable power with which to enforce the law.
