The legality is not an issue for most people. Driving over the speed limit is illegal and people do it. Smoking pot is illegal in many places, and people do it. There are a thousand tiny judgment calls people make all the time (I have only had one glass of wine so I am okay to drive, I will claim this dinner as a business expense even though we only talked business for five minutes, etc.) on all sorts of laws. If you spend all if your time defending why something is right or wrong, you'll miss what is actually going on---the same way that woman on Dr. Phil could argue all she wanted to about not giving birth control to her daughter because she shouldn't be having sex, but that ship had already sailed, and by refusing to acknowledge that because of how she was *feeling* the woman was actually putting her daughter's health at risk.
None of what you said excuses breaking the law. Your analogy to the Dr. Phil episode doesn't really fit here. You are comparing a disregard for obeying the law for feeling something is right or wrong opposed to what is realistic. Despite what most people may think, obeying the law won't kill them.
