Can't assume they don't have integrity. They might just have different moral values.
I would gladly implement this any day. Its not illegal.

This is why "values" is a terrible word to use to describe morals.
Values are subjective things like modesty or frugality. Those are values, because how you dress or spend your money generally have consequences only to yourself.
Something becomes immoral when it deprives another person of their inalienable rights; it causes them harm. Others' rights aren't subject to negotiation, that's what "inalienable" means.
That one can often get away with bullying or lying might make it seem like it's just a personal choice. That is, until people get fed up with it and hold that person to account for their actions.
There are no such thing as inalienable rights. Every right has to be earned and fight for.
Its not just given from god or something.
The reason being that individuals living in societies with inalienable rights feel they have more worth fighting for, and they are more industrious and able to build robust trust networks.
None of that is subjective, it's all how the universe works, so, yes, you could plausibly attribute it to God or any kind of creator.
Rights are subjective, meaning it depends on the particular society, even it may have different meaning to everyone. Example: The rights for woman in Afghanistan and USA are different.
wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gainFulfilling your basic legal obligations is not the definition of integrity, and often the two are at odds.
The definition of integrity requires honesty. Do you think it is honest to tell people "there are 38 rooms left" when you know 38 is a random number?
The definition also requires you to act morally. Do you think that anything legal is moral, and vice versa?
Slavery was legal. German extermination camps were legal. Were these moral?
Smoking weed is illegal. Is it immoral?
