There's a passage in Atlas Shrugged where the govt minion admitted that they never had any intention of having folks comply with idiotic laws/regulations - they want the laws where almost everybody is a criminal. That way the populace is easier to control. Anyone can be arrested on govt whim.

Yes, I read Atlas Shrugged fifty years ago and I still remember reading that, it explains a lot. The amazing part is that there are so many people not in government who should know better but think that a law is the answer to everything.
