Not entirely, but it seems like you are. I also wasn't as clear as I could have been in the original comment. I do not think people should just cavalierly risk being imprisoned or fined heavily.

Rather, there are a ton of things people comply with when there's basically no reason to or go out of their way to find out if they're allowed to do it. Those are the areas I'm talking about.

I feel like this is highly complementary with your point about challenging these "laws" in the courts. The first step is not complying.
