We don't live in a fascist totalitarian dictatorship, we live in a liberal democracy with courts and different levels of government we can petition to. 

The US under Jim Crow and segregation was also a liberal democracy and it required people disobey those laws they deemed unjust to help change them. Those people are considered heroes because we know those laws were unjust.

I never said that all laws are just, I said you follow them until you can change them, and if you choose not to follow them in protest/ civil disobedience ok but prepare to also suffer the legal punishments of those crimes.

And this is my point: you're talking strictly about legalities and following the letter of the law, but deciding what laws are unjust and thus worth disobeying is a moral/political judgement that everyone would make.
