In principle i agree that everybody has to follow the law and what Tänak did was probably illegal to some degree. But I also support the freedom to break the law in some minor and harmless ways just time-to-time - after all, progress comes from change, many todays laws can be traced back to some people breaking old laws which has led to establishing new ones. Use of common sense should be protected at all times, especially from enforcing excessive punishments for minor breakings of law - like some dude demands disqualifications and stuff here. It like North Korea, where whole families are inprisoned if one member of family picks up rotting potato from roadside. And this is not even to make example - its their law, so is this justified?
