The law is completely irrelevant, there's no moral obligation for you to obey the law.

Laws reflect the ethics and morality of a society. Therefore, I can safely dismiss this opinion of yours.

and? "Person(s) x hold opinion x therefore I should hold it" is not a valid argument.

edit - also laws dont neccessarily reflect that, there a unpopular laws.
