Commonplace intelligent disobedience

(latin-inspired music)…- A common misconception about intelligent disobedience…is it's some sort of rare and unusual act.…I actually learned just the opposite from talking…to a couple of friends of mine that are police officers.…I approached them with a bit of trepidation saying,…I was writing a book called intelligent disobedience…and I was wondering what they thought of it.…And they said, ah, we do that 12 times a day.…

12 times a day?!…They go, yes, 12 times a day, at least.…Said, we have the laws and you watch what happens…but we have to interpret the intent of those laws…and we often don't enforce them.…We don't fine people every time we see them jay walking…or pull people over when they're one mile an hour…above the speed limit, we'd shut down the town.…The intent is to understand what the laws are there for…and use our own sense of intelligent disobedience…to apply them.…I was thinking, that happens in business as well…and was talking to some friends of mine.…

And they said, oh yeah,…he uses his education budget for awards.…
