I think this is used as an intentional strategy of control, at least somewhat. Make a jillion tiny little laws that are impossible to keep track of or follow, that way you know everyone is a criminal if you want them to be.
Then if someone is acting up, it's only a matter of figuring out which unrelated laws they are already breaking.
It feels like this is the defining premise of the US tax code.
