You must calculate the cost of obeying the law in a police state.

Do you think that you can get away with breaking the law?

Are cameras near you?

Are you at home alone with the curtains closed?

What is the punishment if you are caught?

You might think drinking coffee is worth the risk if coffee possession is punishable with a $5 fine, but you might not want to drink coffee if coffee drinkers get 30 years in prison.
