Yes. I jaywalk occasionally, especially when it is (a) really impractical to go to the nearest legal crossing place but seems perfectly safe to cross where I am, or (b) is truly safer where I am than at a nearby legal crossing place anyway. (And I never do it if there are any cars within sight.)
Also, once long ago I pulled up a few surveyor's markers on land near ours in the mountains of SW Oregon. They were markers for logging an area on fragile soil above our land, and we strongly felt it was wrong to log there. The BLM had been trying to get us to agree to primary easement over the road we used to get to our land, so they could log that area, and we kept refusing, even when they kept increasing a payment to us. It was an ethical thing. They ended up giving up on that project - we were far from the only people who objected to it. I feel a little bad about pulling up the markers, but not a whole lot.
