I am not familiar with the laws there. If what he did was against the law, he should not have done it. Breaking the law, regardless of good intentions, can not be allowed.

Did your father know that what he was intending on doing was illegal?

If so it is sad that your father choose to break the law (if it was, in fact illegal). Especially since he broke the law for no effect (the council voted against the motion anyway). Perhaps he should have waited until the council voted before choosing to break the law?

I hope your father is OK, but if he did in fact break the law, I don't have a lot of sympathy. People can't break the law and expect to escape responsibility due to their age or their good intentions.
