An Honest person wants to follow the law

How do you handle such a thing?

Catch 22. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. There is no win condition. All available choices screw the player (unless they get luck and the self-control check for Honesty comes up in their favor); hope the GM doesn't consider it bad roleplay (because you ignored one of you disadvantages) and dock you awarded CP for the session.
