Is this in your bill of rights?  I'm surprised.

More to the point however I must disagree with your premise that disobaying
an unacceptable law will cause its repeal.  More effective is the view of
the long-time punch columnist, and MP AP Herbert...  To achieve its repeal
a law must be scrupulously ENFORCED, the resulting public outcry is the
only catylist to legislation that can possibly be effective.
