There are many stupid laws. I do think part of the unfortunate (perhaps deloberate) side effect of having so many laws, and especially so many stupid laws, though, is to undermine the rule of law and the tacit covenant among citizens to obey our laws. Most people seem not to care anymore about breaking ANY laws, stupid or not.

It is psychologically such that you might get to a point at which you are to feign sincere remorse for the breaking of laws that you knew not existed, and if you are charged for you know not what, you might submit to the not knowing and the obscure authority upon you.
