And despite this, some people DO insist on living just on the edge of legality. I recently had an interaction with someone declared a "vexatious litigant" in Texas. That's a legal status that requires them to get authorization from a judge before opening a new lawsuit against another party.

I prefer a world where most people don't ride the edge of legality.

An overly complex set of rules often breeds this kind of behavior; Functioning legally in a world with a practically infinite number of rules requires it. Fixing the unwanted behavior often involves making more rules… and thus a cancer is born.

Another common outcome is complete apathy for the rules. ie: nothing seems legal, why bother trying?
