Laws that are unjust should be challenged in court. Not ignored.
Because everyone's idea of what is just and what is unjust are completely different.

By breaking the law and being charged with a crime he now has standing to challenge the law.
He knowingly broke the law almost immediately after it was passed, an argument could be made that his standing against the law was revoked because of his disregard of it.
Either way, he could have brought this to court without breaking the law, even if he was speaking on behalf of the homeless (who do have standing and cannot afford legal representation) instead of flaunting it.
Edit: Correction of a word, thanks again Chanti.
Even under the assumption that his 'bringing it to court' would yield positive results and revoke the law; have you ever had a court hearing like that? They take forever. Weeks, months, even years before anything is done.
Im willing to bet these ppl will be hungry before all that is said and done.
