This would be civil disobedience if they turned themselves in

That's not, actually, a requirement of civil disobedience, and never has been, historically. For instance, millions broke the salt laws of India, but only 80,000 were arrested, and I can guarantee that the remainder did not voluntarily turn themselves in.



I stand corrected - I always assumed CD at least required you publicly announcing that you broke the law.


Civil Disobedience is (by definition) illegal, so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make much sense for there to be any rules or requirements around it.
