Are you asking, if under our system of laws and standards of behavior, it is OK to ignore the law if, in your opinion, there is no risk?

A free society is a society where people shall have the right to exercise unlimited freedom in their own lives, freedom to live in whatever manner they choose, freedom to pursue their own goals, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal rights of others to do the same. Government's only role is to secure each individual's rights, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence

The rub comes in here when your exercise of your rights exposes others to unreasonable restrictions on their individual rights to freedom. I can see where one could judge that unnecessarily risking others lives could be considered a significant infringement upon freedom.
