Or governments will continue to have those laws on the books and prosecute them with discretion (which is what happens today). It is very convenient for those in power when every person is already guilty of something.

That is the point - a "free and fair" society will prosecute everyone equally. And the impact of that will either make us all modify out behaviour so we are not all guilty or modify the laws so we are not all guilty.

If society is not free or fair, that's the problem to fix first.
