What is your favourite law?

•I know this is a little dark, but my favourite law is the law on murder. I know it sounds stupid, but the law on murder is probably the thing that stops people murdering the most. I think it is universally illegal to murder, and if you get caught, the consequences are really bad.

•I am pretty sure it is the same universally, the very strict laws, 99% of people will obey them. But for less serious laws, it is probably 50/50.
