Why would a bad guy worry about breaking more laws (Score 2, Insightful)

I don't post often, but this spurred me to action.. It reminds me of gun laws in the U.S. Honest Citizens are expected to wait 5 days and complete a form acknowledging among other things that they are not a criminal. The funny thing is.. I don't think that criminals admit they are criminals..so they get their guns illegally or check "no" i am not a criminal on the form. If honest citizens are expected to turn over their private keys.. I might expect that the criminals wouldn't turn theirs over - they have already broken at least one law (to become a criminal).. I'm sure they wouldn't have a moral problem with breaking another. or They could simply turn over the a throw away private key to satisfy the requirement and use an illeagal set for their business. Just my opinion
