Even Jesus is in disagreement with you.
Jesus agrees about the law being applied to anyone who violates it though. Jesus was executed for violating the law. It was a just and righteous execution and no one should pretend that Jesus didn't deserve to die. Jesus should've worked to change the law if he disagreed with it instead of violating it.
Same thing with, say, Spartacus, Thomas More, William Tyndale, or Jan Hus. I've always said George Washington and all the founding fathers should've been hanged for treason. No respect for the law.

Both true and ironic since he also says:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
He broke the letter of the law in order to fulfill the letter of the law (and the spirit of it) as described by the prophets who preceded him. A paradox in a way, but not when seen as a parable (of which he was fond). Jesus followed the recipe book to be messiah down to every last known detail; if it was foretold, he did it.
Also consider, Pilate found him not guilty of breaking Roman law and wanted to set him free before capitulating to the pharisaical mob (who remember, were said to be bearing false witness against him) and washing his hands of the matter. And further, if I'm not mistaken, about the only charge that stuck was that he presented himself as 'son of God'-- a blasphemy if he wasn't. But if he was, what was he guilty of?
Lastly, it was the same hateful, hard-heartedness which I'm calling Kujo out on, that drove those biblical events.
