And there are situations in which the morals and ethics of laws may be called into question. For instance, the law which forbids the medicinal use of cannabis. Better to force people to live in pain, or become criminals, than to change a law which appears to have no logical foundation ? Strange that medicinal use of morphine is okay.

Then there is the case of Lord Haw-Haw, a WW2 broadcaster of German propaganda. After the war he was charged with treason, found guilty by a British court, and executed, despite the fact that he wasn't a British national (which was a prerequisite for treason against Britain, according to the law then in force). Following his execution the law was changed retroactively, to make his execution legal.

More from Britain ? The anti-pirate (offshore radio broadcasting) law which made it illegal to broadcast from places where British law doesn't apply. Try to work out the logic, or ethics, of that one.

No. Law and ethics are worlds apart, and morality plays no part.
