    There’s no subtext. This man has no obligation to this law, so “How dare this person follow the law. ;(” isn’t relevant. This man is not following a law, he is simply going about his day. He is volunteering, and not compelled. There is no sanctity of law at play here.

    But, to play ball, yes. If a person who would otherwise receive punishment were to do this, I would take that into account. That is not the case here.
