My answer is: I don't believe I have to right to pick and choose. But on occasion I do so anyway because I'm human, and I'm selfish and I'm willing to accept whatever punishment is handed to me.

Let me take those one by one.
I do not deliberately speed, I do not text or eat while driving (talking while driving is not illegal), I do not litter, jaywalking is not an offence here, I do not own a bike, I do not fill in a tax return (it's an automatic thing, I have very simple tax affairs), I have never downloaded anything from the darknet, public intoxication is not an offence here, I do not stop on the hard shoulder, I always wear my seatbelt, etc etc.
Of course I have inadvertantly broken laws before. My question was about choosing to ignore laws because you disagree with them. Nobody's answered it yet.
