Depends on how dumb the cops are.

If you do the right thing, it does not matter what the results or consequences are. But remember this: There is
doing
not doing
things that people do
The first two are deliberate and for a reason. The third comprises most of human activity and is meaningless.
It's hard to imagine how going to jail will help the cause of Truth. You can repent on your own.

I'm not sure what you mean but I suspect you're hinting at petitioning and not giving in when the police tell you to give in cause
your petitioning aims weren't met.. example those protesting the cutting of trees. Or those protesting the extension of a highway going into an area that disturbs alot of wildlife. Petitioning for those things is doing the right thing and I'd be willing to go to jail for doing that right thing if necessary!

Doing the right thing doesnt land you in Jail...
If you have done something illegal and you want to fess up.. Then yes.. If going to jail means you have told the truth so be it. You shouldnt have commited the offense in the first place right.. right..
commit the crime.. do the time!

Now that I'm over 50, I've rarely seen any cause where going to jail substantially fixes the problem unless you're also backed by a group willing to help you and where the jail time is minimal. (THink of Rosa Parks and the backing she got to publicize her refusal).

It depends on the situation, but who determines "the right thing". It's different things to different people.
Two perfect examples are mercy killings and assisted suicides. To most people, it would be considered murder. To the one doing it, he feels justified and will accept the possibility of going to jail.
For me personally, I'd be trying to find a better solution to the problem while still doing the right thing in the long run.

If you go to jail for doing the right thing, you might as well tell the police, " Excuse me for being such a good citizen."

Is that really a belief that some people have???
"you did the right thing, for that you shall go to jail."
I guess I dont understand what you are asking.
maybe give an example

Hmmmm... if I felt that the outcome would be worth the jail time.. then Yes.

If I were on a jury and someone was up on murder charges for taking out some scumbag that raped his little girl, I would be voting Innocent. And my concious would be clear in douing so.
