What happens when the laws make everyone a criminal?

A good point and one made by the U.S. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, later a Justice of the US Supreme Court, in a speech in 1940 in which he said: "With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some sort on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who committed it, it is a question of picking the man, and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him."

Not hard to figure out.

All those who actively work to dismantle the Ruling Elite (Congress and state politicians) and challenge their power will be criminals.
