Based on Romans 13:1,2 which says: " Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God;" True Christians strive to follow all laws set by the local authorities.

The only time that Christians would not follow the laws is when it goes against the law of Jehovah God. The apostle Peter set the example of this when he was ordered to stop preaching in the book of acts. His response is in Acts 5:29: "In answer Peter and the other apostles said 'we must obey God as ruler rather than men.'"
