Amnesty can be now granted to those that were ticketed prior to the new law.

2. The speed limit is not raised to 55.

Amnesty is granted to those that were ticketed for going 55.
People will no longer be ticketed for driving 55.
It will send a message to people that it's ok to drive 55.

In both scenarios, people will feel it's ok to drive 55.
People will not get ticketed for it any more.
People will be given amnesty for prior violations.

What's the difference ?
They both end in the same result.
Is one more dangerous to society in some way ?

Spoiler:

1). Is it okay to break the law if you don't agree with it?

2). Is it okay to break the law if you don't agree with it, as long as you are prepared to accept the consequences of your actions?

3). Is it okay to break the law, whether you agree with it or not, as long as you are prepared to accept the consequences of your actions?

4). Is it okay to break the law and expect to not have to deal with the consequences of your actions?

5). Is it okay to break the law while fighting to change the law at the same time? Should you have to accept the consequences of your actions in this instance?

6). Is it okay to break the law while fighting to change the law, even if you fully expect the law will not be changed? Should you have to accept the consequences of your actions in this instance?

7). Is it okay to break a law that is not enforced? - Thanks hsjpatman and IAMSLICK

8). Is it ok to break laws that regulate an act that doesn't affect other people? - Thanks adr

As anyone might be able to decifer the exactness of both scenarios, and the meanings that it was suppose it mean are so closely related the difference between them are nano meters apart. I personlly couldn't find much differences, so its yas turn.

ps: I'll refine this thread later. Enjoy.
