Wow, this is even more pathetic than the “I was following orders” excuse. Now it’s “I was breaking the law because I got the vibe that I should”.

But even following direct orders is not an excuse to break the law. The notion that people shouldn’t be held liable for breaking the law under even less pressure is insane.
