I don't agree that motive is a factor.
If the law says that no one can eat apples after 10pm or before 6am, no exceptions, then that is the law.
It applies to men, women, children, regardless of motive.
Therefore any person that breaks the law should face the same penalty.
If you want to mitigate responsibility for following the law, then change the law. Not the punishment.
