It depends on the laws of the country.
In Iran, I'd say it should be permissable for a woman to go out without the covering of her burka, to watch live football in a stadium, to demonstrate strength, yoga and fitness training for other women on Youtube, and to move about freely in public. I'd say any woman who does, knowing that she will probably be flogged and gaoled, and may die in the process, is incredibly brave and right for knowingly disobeying the law and fighting for social justice for women.
Wherever Marijuana is illegal, I think it's fine for people to grow and smoke their own, to give it and sell it and to distill it into specific medicinals.
Wherever abortion is illegal, I think it's sensible for a woman to take pennyroyal and red clover to induce miscarriage, or to find a doctor willing to give her a proper surgical abortion.
Where corpse disposal is heavily restricted, I think it's okay to have whatever burial, cremation or sky burial the dead-one wanted providing it's hygeinic.
Where euthansia is illegal, I think its fine for loved ones to assist a person who prefers to avoid the worst agonies of their natural death.
I think it's right for people to fight for an end to all forms of animal cruelty,
to fight to protect the environment upon which all of us depend,
and to fight for the right to peaceful public protest.
To partially and briefly block one lane of traffic for an hour or two should not be illegal.
No police or army should have the right to fire gases, tasers, or bullets of any kind, nor use any weapons against protesters.
They should use only sheilds and containment lines.
If a protester is violent, they should fire nets to contain and arrest the offender.
On the other side, while protests may be loud and spectacular, they should never frighten or endanger police, horses, dogs, or passers-by. They should never be violent,nor damage property.
If police are violent, the offending protester should go completely floppy and passive.
Both sides should use cameras from every angle, transmitting and uploading live to the public.
Around the world there are countless unjust laws.
Infibulation is still legal in some countiries in Africa.
Some actions and laws might always remain controversial,
but laws can be adjusted so that people have the right to live by their own ethics so long as it has no harmful ripple effects.

@peterlee Yes - there is a growing threat from individuals who act without actual affiliation to any organisation.
I am not sure if anyone knows why - we know they let themselves become brainwashed by Internet sites that attract them, but not really why they do it. The types who act as part of some group, are encouraged by a sense of "belonging" to fellow-disaffected types; but the loners cannot use that excuse.

Tax evasion, but only in countries with a high corruption score. Best way to get rid of a cancerous government is to stop feeding it, i'm talking mass civil disobedience.
In South Africa we got rid of the unjust E-tolling system, it took a few years of civil disobedience but it worked, the government got the message, and now it's gone.

For the most part crimes of omission.
Basically unintentional crimes.
Intent is hard to prove, yet once proven, there is no excuses.
Hardliners often say there is no excuse not knowing the law, yet they are never the uneducated. With little means of understanding.
Those same hardliners are usually the emotionally bankrupt. And have losted their humanity in favor of legal fanaticism. The letter of the law, has no place with the spirit of the law.

@AngelUnforgiven I didn't realize that most acid attacks are premediated as people usually don't carry it with them anyway. It would have to be some weird situation in a chem lab at most.

Traffic laws that can be broken by mistake or a red light should be more like a stop sign out in the in the middle of nowhere out in the country
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Is suicide still considered illegal ?
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Ferise1 I know Swiss have legal euthanasia but I think it’s a crime here in USA

@AthrillatheHunt Attempted suicide was an offence in the uK unitl, I think, the early-1960s.
Assisting suicide still is, although recognised as a very difficult and sensitive area where the suicidal person is so by wanting to end a slow, horrible dying by an incurable illness.
