There are good laws (malum in se) such as rape, murder, theft, etc.
But, to your point, there are many bad laws (malum prohibitum) that violate individual freedom:
- Prohibitions against
- building or modifying a house without a license
- driving a car without a license
- copyright infringement
- illegal drug use
- illegal hunting
- operating a business without a license
- prostitution
- violating prohibition of alcohol
- modern statutory rape
- pornography
- surrogacy for profit
- weapon possession
- illegal immigration
- jaywalking
- hitchhiking
- resisting arrest
And, of course, intergenerational love.
I don't think I have violated any prostitution or surrogacy laws, but all the rest in my list? Yup.
