One should read up on the judiciary system in their specific state before they start breaking the spirit of the law.

In some states the judges are quasi-politicians with an implied mandate to rule how they think the people want them to rule. In others the judiciary is a system for evaluating the law and they see they consider it their mandate to enforce the law exactly as written, especially when it gives the legislature and the public the middle finger because that's the incentive for those groups to write and demand good law.
