My hot-take on crime/laws: in order for something to be a crime there needs to be a victim (via harm/theft/fraud); if there is no victim, if no harm/theft/fraud happened, it is not a crime. Everything else is legislation (eg: needing a fishing license).
“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."
