Would you punish them the same?
Yes. Just because you think you have a good reason to break a law doesn't mean you can just do it..... I have a legitimate reason to not pay taxes. However if I do that I will be in jail. If we start picking and choosing which laws we follow and which we don't then where will that put us? A person will always find a justification to break a law. They don't become a criminal until they knowingly break a law.
