Creating criminals of all of us

The passage of a whole host of new regulations, bans, and taxes--each of which are difficult to abide by and/or create an environment in which citizens are better off not abiding by them--remind me of the following quote from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged:

"'Do you really think we want those laws to be observed?' said Dr. Ferris 'We want them broken.... When there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.... just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced, you create a nation of law breakers and then you cash in on guilt.'"

Here are two examples:

New York City recently passed a smoking ban that applies to beaches, parks, and even Times Square.

The sale of children's toys and clothing, including second-hand items, must meet new lead standards; this includes thrift stores and porch/garage sales.

What other policies would fit this billing? Post your suggestions as a comment below.
