I certainly don't recommend in the book that people disobey the laws; in fact there are many references to people who did so and died as a result. So I don't think anyone would ever use the book as a reference guide to bad behavior. But I think it could be a few of those places in the book that they may have been referring to.

Not a lot there, but it gives you somewhat of an idea as to the layout and writing style. Just go to Amazon and type in the name of the book under "Books" and go on from there.
