I do not think that there was ever a time that you could just deliberately break the law. The last time that I checked there was not a time when people just thought it was ok to break the law. They would get in trouble, because that is not legal at all. We have never written a law that said most people need to obey this law, but it is okay for some of you to just not even worry about it. Even though there are laws that were only written for certain groups or people, we still all have to follow them because we could be like that one day too. I think that we have all broken laws before, whether we knew it or not.
I think that there is a lot of times when people break the law, though and do not get caught. I think that is a different story. We break laws such as being on the phone while driving, the number of people in our car, and being out past curfew. All of these are examples of when we did not obey the law like we should. Even though we might break the law, it does not mean we had someone there telling us that it was ok. When we break those laws, we know that it is wrong and we really can not justify ourselves because we know that.
I would try to say a time when it was ok to disregard laws, but there, once again, was never a time where they said "oh, just go and disregard that law, it does not matter." If there was ever a time like that, it was way before I ever knew about it, or someone just never filled me in on that rule! I think that people might have disregarded to rules a long, long time ago when there was not really a written law. People probably did a lot more wrong, but only because there was no set law, and they did not know any different.
