        They should. But you can’t exactly be surprised if you get in trouble because you broke the law, no matter how stupid you think that law is.
        I think it’s stupid that you can’t always turn right on a red light. Plenty of people would agree. I’ll get a ticket if I do it anyway, and it’ll be my own fault.

        Laws can very well be wrong, in a moral sense, and quite a few of them still in existence today are, but trying to argue that in court is usually a bad idea.

        In court you’re defending that you didn’t break the law. They have no such defense. You can’t just play Calvinball in court.
