Nope. It's not as black and white. Following the laws to the book, but not being afraid of breaking the law in itself, but being afraid of crossing ethical lines and understanding the cost of breaking the law, willfully accepting what retribution comes back when caught. There has to be some level of human conscience at play in these decision making.

All we can ask as a society is that we train and employ our rationality and conscience.
