Obeying the Rule of Law

[Nalaar]

If you want to break a law then you should do so whether or not someone else is also breaking it. The actions of another should not be a deciding factor in your actions.

Put simply, I think the way someone else (or some institution like a government) acts is not a reason for an individual to act in the same way.

Why not? If the law is the law and idiots like Cummings can break it while folks'' loved ones are dying in care homes then why not? What if the law is idiotic and stupid, like this new 'no mingling in the street' oaw that Priti Vacant has just talked about...

Let's get philosophical then, just for you.

Let's say you're a black fellow under jim crow laws or ok say a white fellow in zimbabwe during the reclamation period.

What do you do then?

The rule of law is sometimes unfollowable and can't be accepted.

I don't see what the point is anymore znd I say this as someone with a clean criminal record boot , these new restrictions, especially for people who already don't go.out much, are the worst and will seriously cause damage.

If they can pick and choose laws to follow, why can't we according to our superior-to-their moral code?

When they break the rule of law Ill have an answer

[johnofgwent]

"if the government does not have to obey the rule of law why should the rest of us?"

Saw someone else pose that question...

Answers on that back of a postcard please.

Better Question:

Does the sovereign have to obey the law ?

Follow on question:

If not, why must a government governing in her name obey the laws they make for her subjects.
