I believe the whole idea may be to pass so many laws that nobody could possibly obey them all. You could then round up anybody you want at any time.

That is a great point. You have a firearm? Well I see you haven’t been properly disposing your used motor oil. That carries a fine of $2,000.

Yep, there are so many laws now that we are all guilty of something. The result is we are all subject to selective and subjective police state harassment, fines, imprisonment, etc.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." -Atlas Shrugged
