> I do definitely believe that a large number of ‘innocent’ people are criminals (by the letter of the law) without their knowledge.

Because of that (or rather, to sort out the mess), I always felt that citizens should have a right to be informed of every law that they are expected to obey so that at least in principle, they'd be able to comply (to be effective, plain language explanations would need to be included).

Imagine an app that told you, whenever you cross state boundaries, what is different in the law now from your previous location.
