Perhaps because most everything in MA is against the 'law' ?

“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.

Re the multiplication of laws.

There's another thread today about a new law in NYC which levies fines of up to $250,000 for employers who "discriminate" against employees because of their hair style. Yes, $250,000.

Many years ago, that book changed my worldview 180°

I will be forever grateful to Mary DeVore for gently insisting that I read it.
