You sound upset. It's cool if you don't understand the difference between subjective and objective, many people don't.
Example: You are an idiot. That's my subjective view. But I have objectively called you an idiot. Look at that, a subjective statement CAN lead to an objective statement!
You can subjectively think something is illegal. But when a court says something's illegal, that's objective, because the court is the one with the inherent power to define what objectively the law is. You are innocent until proven guilty.

If you drive in any major city you have to break the law just to get around. Laws are broken frequently and often out of necessity. Total enforcement is a complete impossibility. Society would completely crumble under the financial and logistical complexity of having the entire populace either waiting for a court date or involved in the system of scheduling, managing, judging, and policing the other half of society.

If everyone just obeyed the rules/law all the time, and never question anything. We would still be subjects of the British Empire. Needless to say, they didn't.
