The problem is that nobody knows how many laws there are in the US. This is the sum of all Federal, State, and municipal laws. They cannot be counted as many have contingencies on other laws or situations that may or may not be in play.Lawyers writing ungodly amounts of laws that only a lawyer could understand, AND getting to vote yourself a pay increase.
Fix that and we are half way home again.
This means that doing any activity is a dice roll. As long as somebody doesn't want to make your life miserable, it won't be. If they do want to make your life miserable, they can, legally.
One event that comes to mind recently is a friend of the family, 85 yrs old, had her daughter tell the police that her mom hit her (false). So, the 85 yr old mom goes to jail, and fora psych eval, while the daughter who reported her gets power of attorney over the mom's finances, creating a bigger issue with the moms other children, as the daughter who wasn't getting what she wanted in the will now has the power to change it.
