Please note how short I was able to answer your question. I challenge you do to likewise, if you can.
In return will you answer my following question:
Are there any federal or local laws that you know of that you do not abide-with, comply, obey, (or any other word intending to communicate what you understand that I'm asking)?
Justification and explanation. First of all it is impossible to know all the law. It is too voluminous. If there is a federal law against breathing free air I am violating it and hopefully will continue to do so. But I do not know of any law I am knowingly violating that I believe is Constitutional. I know of only a few alleged laws that I openly fight. One is currently being considered at the United States Supreme Court concerning gun laws. I WOULD absolutely REFUSE to register any pistol I WOULD buy in Clark County, Nevada even though the Clark County ordinance says "residents" must register any pistol they buy "in Clark County" within 3 days. Drivers license laws are a law that some people would claim I am violating and I claim the law (statute) does not apply to me. As an example you are not required to license your car in Nevada even if you drive through Nevada. Also if YOU purchased a pistol in Clark County, Nevada, you would not be required to register that pistol since you are not a resident of Clark County, Nevada.
As you can see, violating laws is a tricky judgment. If you were to hunt in Nevada there are laws that restrict you. You WOULD need a Nevada license to hunt but not a Nevada drivers license to drive to where you would hunt in Nevada.
As Joseph Smith stated: The different states, and even Congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the Constitution of the United States. Shall we be such fools as to be governed by its laws, which are unconstitutional? No!
I agree with the Prophet that I would be a fool to follow unconstitutional laws and obviously the Courts say that such laws are void so I cannot violate them as they impose no duty AND I am conscience bound to disobey them:
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” –Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
“An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” –Norton vs. Shelby County, 118 US 425 p.442
“Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.” –Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436 p. 491
“All acts of the legislature apparently contrary to natural rights and justice are, in our law and must be in the nature of things, considered void... We are in conscience bound to disobey.” –Robin vs. Hardaway, 1 Jefferson 109, (Va., 1772)
My Question to you:
What is the law of the State in which you dwell or claim residency or citizenship, defining perjury?
