So this is where I come from. Even though I'm not a religious person anymore, over the years I thought a lot about the approach to the rules and oragnizations, and came to the conclusion that the society is better off if everyone follows the rules by default, suboptimal they may be, instead of rebelling whenever they feel like. Both because some rules are actually good even if they don't seem so, and for others, it's easier to change things when people are willing to cooperate and authorities aren't so busy fighting fires.
Back to the culture. For context, I'm from Europe, Poland. I meet a mix of various approaches. Some are law-abiding citizens. Most break laws here and there, but generally treat upholding them as a virtue and their behaviour as something not good, but done out of practical necessity. I don't encounter people glorifying law-breaking very often.
As for vigilantes from TV you mentioned in your previous comment, I like those shows like everyone else. Though I have to remind myself all the time that it's fiction - law enforcement isn't as incompetent as those shows always portray, and lot of the stuff heroes do aren't feasible in the real world. Then again, I'm still a Star Trek guy - I side with organizations made of good, competent, ethical people.
