< Although I support the Code of Ethics, I do not believe that it negates legal or regulatory (and in some extreme cases moral) requirements.>

I also believe it does not negate legal or regulatory requirements, as demonstrated by points 1 & 2 of the Code.  These points, I believe, take precedence over the others and clearly require me, as a CRM, to comply with law and regulations, as well as behave ethically.

1. Certified Records Managers have a professional responsibility to conduct themselves so that their good faith and integrity shall not be open to question. They will promote the highest possible records management standards. 
2. Certified Records Managers shall conform to existing laws and regulations covering the creation, maintenance, and disposition of recorded information, and shall never knowingly be parties to any illegal or improper activities relative thereto.
