If your general principle is civil disobedience of fundamentally unjust or unconstitutional laws is acceptable in order to effect change of those laws, then I would have to agree. I wouldn't extend this agreement to laws that are marginally unjust or merely annoying.

If your general principle is that disobedience of laws that you don't like when you don't think you will get caught is acceptable, then I don't agree. If I did agree with that, then I would have contested the ticket that I got for going over the speed limit on a rural straight way when the only vehicles on the road were my truck and the motor cycle cop who stopped me.

I took my medicine and started obeying speed limits carefully. Sometimes this annoys other drivers who want to go faster than the speed limit, but they are the ones breaking the law, not I.
