It depends - there are immoral acts which are prohibited by those laws, such as selling people contaminated drugs with severe additional health risks or funding violent crime. Morally however I see no issue with, say, giving your friend some of your weed which could be described as "drug trafficking"

Well, I guess he got what he was looking for (with that much wine in his trunk I should think he expected to get lashed) :mmm:

Not sure about respecting (e.g. retrograde/corrupt legislature) but certainly abiding by it, or else being prepared to face the consequences :holmes:

I know! I wouldn't want to face the consequences so wouldn't even dream of carrying such things in my boot

British man who is facing 350 lashes in Saudi Arabia after homemade wine was found in his car have pleaded with David Cameron

- Should Dave intervene? that's if he can, he's currently too busy sucking up to our new Chinese masters.

Personally i think he should just take it like a man, considering he blatantly knew he was in the wrong.

360 lashes for making homemade wine?!?

Can we not just nuke the Saudi Arabia?....god damn, where's Bush when you need him.

Everyone's pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Saudi Arabia is probably the most strictest countries when it comes to the law (Middle East), so having wine in the trunk, in a country where you know there could be severe repercussions is just plain stupid. Why risk it.
