Is it ever ok to break the law?

Laws are in place for people to follow for a reason. Many of the laws we must abide by are just common sense such as don't steal or don't kill people. These are laws that we know are very important. Most people will agree that it is never ok to break these laws. But some laws are less important. These are the ones that could possibly be ok to break. It depends on the people's intentions. If someone has very good intentions with something they do and accidentally break a law or break it but never even knew it was there, then that is pardonable. If someone deliberately breaks a law and knows their breaking it and harm befalls others, then that is not pardonable. Among the authorities, breaking any law is not ok and that is true. They were put there for a reason and they cannot be broken for a reason. But the question is it ok to break the law does not mean can you avoid the punishment and fight the authorities because that is obviously no. But is it ok or is it immoral. If someone doesn't pay the parking meter, they broke the law and they will have to pay the fine no matter what. But can they forgive themselves in their heart for breaking the law. Possibly. If they honestly forgot, then they can forgive their self but if they said oh well I'm just not going to pay the meter, then it is wrong. So there are really two ways to look at the question is it ok to break the law. With the authorities the answer is no, never, you will always have to pay the consequence. But is it ok with yourself to break the law. It depends on your intentions and only you know your true intentions.
