It may sound goofy, but in my recollection, the single thing that induced more widespread disrespect for the rule of law in United States history was the Federal 55mph speed limit in response to the OPEC oil embargo. This single event made widespread daily disobedience a fact of life.

Interesting.
If you put enough frivolous laws on the books, everyone beccomes a criminal sooner or later.
