We should have a basic set of laws which are and have been in place for hundreds of years and thats common law. You don't kill, steal, cause bodily injury etc you're all good. Just on the federal level alone there are 10,000+ laws on the books. EVERY single one of us could be arrested if someone choose to do so. It's ridiculous.
Let's look at some on a local level
More than 8 women may not live in the same house because that would constitute a brothel.
It is illegal to use a lasso to catch a fish.
Giving and receiving oral sex is prohibited by law.
Driving is not to be done while asleep.
The definition of “dumb animal” includes every living creature.
Skunks may not be carried into the state.
So we have a bunch of people sitting around voting up their pay every year or so to come up with BS like this.
