Sam, we pasken like Rambam and the Rashbam that there is dina d’malchuta in EY (Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 369:6). According to the Chatam Sofer (Responsa Choshen Mishpat 44) even the Ran and the Rashba would agree regarding public safety and welfare laws.According to Rav Ovadia (Yechaveh Deah 5:4) and Rav Elaishiv (piskei Din Rabani’im v. 6 p. 376-381)there is dina d’malchuta dina regarding Medinat Yisrael.This is because the source is the agreement of the populace (Rambam Hilchot Gezeila v’Aveida 5:18 and Rashbam Baba Batra 54b d”h v’amar Shmuel dina d’malchuta dina).
