There are many, many people, who cry out whenever there is some perceived unfairness or injustice that there ought to be a law. The problem with this mindset is that the United States already has substantially way too many laws, and these laws applied on nearly an everyday basis are biased, senseless, erode our freedoms, are arbitrary, and often conflict with other, greater laws. The point about laws that many people get just wrong, is the impression that the more laws that there are on the books, and/or the more laws that are strictly enforced, the better behaved and the less crime that society will have, when in actual fact, the more laws that are created and enacted, typically makes for more people that are unfairly susceptible to being arrested or restrained from conducting their lives in a manner that they so desire.
If you turn back the clock back to a time when people lived in small communities and tribal configurations, just struggling to make a go of it in a society in which there was no sponsored healthcare, no hourly wages, no guarantees of much of anything, do you really think that there was one big boss, with hundreds of written books next to him, studying, applying and executing law as he saw fit, for his community? It just didn't occur, as the rules for any given community were undoubtedly straightforward and pretty much followed the general guidelines of not stealing, not murdering, and not lying, while also having the people demonstrate the type of obeisance necessary to placate the God of that community, with pretty much the most important thing being the survival and protection of the community.
The laws that man has in the modern day times, though, are endless reams of pretty much the "haves" trying to maintain their status and position vs. the "have-nots" and nothing much else. So too the law has corrupted itself to becoming a perpetual and annoying busybody into the affairs and conduct of one's everyday life; because the fact of the matter is that one's thoughts, one's body, one's actions, one's vices, are for the most part, not something that the State should have any need to know, especially in instances to which no other person or entity is impacted in a detrimental way.
When the law is arbitrary, capricious, unequally applied and enforced, the State is in the driver's seat, and you, as a sovereign individual, are instead treated as a servant to the State. This means, that your freedom of movement, your freedom of action, is restricted by authorized governmental agencies, to which, in a country to which there are thousands upon thousands of laws, many of them: obscure, subject to interpretation, and unknowable; in addition to all sorts of judicial courts, and over 1 million lawyers, just about everyone on any given day has committed some sort of rule violation, infraction, or crime.
The bottom line is that when you as an individual are subject to being stopped and frisked, questioned, held, or intimidated, all in the public square, because the State has you in their sight, there isn't much that you can do about it. All these laws and all these rules are meant to protect the ruling class from any incipient uprising, to control and to mold the population, and as always, sold to the public as required in order to effect appropriately the public safety.
