Gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar then wants to change the rules to make it okay?
Who does he think he is?
The IRS?
That’s what the judge always tells the accused who doesn’t like the law to do. So he did it. Now the cat calls?

This is different. He paid the fine, then went to work changing the law. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? He's not trying to get out of the fine, or beat the rap, he's trying to correct something that needs correcting.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
