in your personal view...what ya think?

sometimes it does...need to break the law...inorder to uphold it ....

sa tingin ko its ok! and i think depende sa situation, meron times that we really need to break the law inorder to uphold it. like when we deal with law enforcers breaking the law instead of enforcing them, as well as hardcore criminals who have been previously punished tapos bumabalik pa rin sa crimen, dapat sa kanila walang batas batas. It maybe harsh but the "ends can be justified by the means" sa cases na ganito.

personal view sabi mo eh he he

Huh ... Laws are just  laws...and there's not enough written for each little thing ... each law has  loopholes ... eveything is not written on stone LOL

Depende sa judge? ;D

this only shows the imperfection of man and the laws hence we have to bear with it

ayan, matt. may new topic na ko kaso tama ba ang pinaglagyan ko sa ads, business... oist, sumagot ka dun ha? baka langawin ung topic ko..  huhuhu :'( wehehehe

MAYBE OK TO SOME ANYWAY POLICE OR ANYONE IN THE AUTHORITY....MILITARY MAN OR WHAT???THE PEOPS IN UNIFORM...ARE THE ONES WHO ARE BREAKING THE LAW AFTER ALL...HAHAHA MOSTLY MET...???..INSTEAD OF UPHOLDING IT..(WITH REGARDS TO LOOPHOLES).BREAK THE LAW ONCE OK... BREAK THE LAW TWICE INORDER FOR THEM TO UPHOLD IT ...IN HERE THEY LEARN SOMETHING....MAYBE ....THATS WHY .....BUT HERE'S ANOTHER ONE...


MANY LAWBREAKERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT AND INCARCERATED..THE REST LIVE IN FEAR..THEY'LL BE NEXT...AND THATS A GOOD NEWS TO LAW-ABIDING.....CITIZEN EVERYWHERE .....ETO NA ANG TANONG WHAT WILL U GONNA CHOOSE TO BREAK THE LAW OR TO UPHOLD IT ???....CASE TO CASE BASIS DAW SABI NG IBA ......HMMM.........

.....i've read one case which i think is applicable to the question above. 2 babies were born with one heart, one lungs....they needed a critical operation so as one of them will live. the law guaranteed that killing is against it, so the case breaks it. ..the law also assures the right of every living creatures a right to life, liberty and dignity(tama ba?), thus, the case also upholds the law. sacrificing one baby's  life to spare the other baby's life

there is a big difference when you say breaking the law and bending the law. breaking is permanent while bending is temporary. Bending the law is very prevalent in situations wherein u need to bend the law of its imperfection for the benefit of justice.

Yeah. To everything there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to kill, a time to heal.

A time to break the law?

Mayroon din law na nag dedetermine nang circumstances surrounding the crime committed. JEMAA ang tawag dun. heehehe Pero pag POLITICAL CRIMES - "The ends justifies the means"

why not? 

In my opinion, LAWS are dynamic. So if upon serious consideration that their is a need to break a law for the greater good, SO BE IT.

Feel like breakin the law right now ... hehe.. for the greater good  ;D

the law is always the law, the law maybe harsh but it is the law, and no one is above the law, so there is no way of breaking it to uphold it. No matter how difficult to control crimes, the law must be uphold without breaking it or else theres no use of having laws!

ur ryt...mukwa thats what i got in mind too......its not really ok to break the law inorder to uphold it...in the first place ..bakit may laws?instead laws are there to follow not to break....

As I said laws are dynamic. It means that laws maybe good today but after 50 yrs it is no longer applicable. Examples are the penalties provided under the RPC, most of them need revision. For prostitution and vagrancy the penalty provided is 200 pesos. Maybe that was good 20 yrs ago but today 200 is very affordable. But of course these are only some exceptions. In America 50 yrs ago abortion is illegal but today some states legalized it. In short, laws are made in order to suit the present needs. Some laws are either revised or abandoned due to its non-applicability.

the discussion talks about whether it is ok or not to break the law inorder to uphold it. I maintain my position that laws are laws and whatever it takes should be upheld without breaking it.

the point regarding dynamisms of laws, of course, when it is necessary to catch up with the fast changing times, then laws should ba changed to fit the time.
