Question

When is it justifiable for protesters and activists to break the law for the sake of their cause?

Answer 1

You can break the law any time you wish but be prepared. You will get your time in court. Have prepared counsel and a support organization that can get the media involved and you can win. If you're in the States you stand a good chance or living to tell the tale. If you don't live someone else will tell your tale. In the long term the bad guys always lose. Learn from history.
