When it outlaws freedoms. As then only outlaws will have freedom. Governments work that way, they become too repressive either through direct oppression or the introduction and enforcement of laws that protect the system and it's backers rather than it's people. Democracy has failed twice before for the Greeks and the Romans so it's not looking good for us either as the governemt makes crazier laws and gives more and more money to people who seem to waste it and mismanage it.

I cannot give a blanket response. I'd have to go case by case. But when a law is immoral, or when it violates the rights of the people (as a people OR as individuals), or when it is simply petty and stupid, I think it's not only OK, but mandatory to break such a law, AND to take the consequences thereof. In a city where I once lived, there was a law (still on the books after 110 years) that you couldn't drive within the city limits unless a man on foot went before your vehicle with a warning flag by day or a lantern at night to warn pedestrians. The great American philosopher Henry David Thoreau said that it is the duty of every citizen to resist a bad law by every means at his disposal. He was thrown in jail.
