We can argue it forever, but every civilized country is based on the idea that the law keepers must be lawful or civilization collapses.
That's why fascism didn't last, although there are certainly a number of people who claim to want to bring it back. But they wouldn't like it if they were on the other end of it.
A civilized legal system is worth preserving, even at the cost of letting a few lawbreakers go. Anyone who thinks differently is just plain stupid.
