"If intelligence were a fact, it wouldn't be intelligence"
Rumsfeld.

American Law and Procedure.    Vol. 13,  page 137, 1910 

  "   This word 'person' and its scope and bearing in the law, involving, as it does, legal fictions and also apparently [IN APPEARANCE ONLY] natural beings, it is difficult to understand; but it is absolutely necessary to grasp, at whatever cost, a true and proper understanding to the word in all the phases of its proper use. A person is here not a physical or individual person, but the status or condition with which he is invested. Not an individual or physical person, but the status, condition or character borne by physical persons. The law of persons is the law of status or condition.   " 
  

A law maxim: 
"De morte hominis nulla est cunctatio longa."
 When the death of a human being may be the consequence, no delay is long. 
When the question is on the life or death of a man, no delay is too long to admit of inquiring into facts. 

"Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."
Matthew 13.10-12

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."
the Buddha

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."

Proverbs 23:7

cultural:  a fear for taking action/responsibility for bits in the chain immediately before or after your given task in the system. (fear of repercussion? un-licensed)  creates "specialisation"

Responsible for actions.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00y2sj7/Thinking_Allowed_02_02_2011/
in this program some clever reaction on previous prog.  12 minutes in.

 assumption in law is; people are responsible for their own actions.  
So if you don't agree with a law you a) act irresponsible by acting to it or b) act responsible by disobeying.
Or what seems to be the result of laws that people don't agree with, they eider a) they are being punished for their convictions or are stopped living by their conviction because of the fear of being punished.
