If that fulfills the purpose of the law then that’s a better law. Turning the law into a lottery where 1/100k “criminals” is severely punished for a common behavior is not the answer.

As a citizen I should be able to read the law and understand that violations have a likely and proportional consequence. This requires sensible laws. I shouldn’t need to play a guessing game (or consult a lawyer) about which laws are “real” for the average person and which can be ignored.

Alternatively, if the problem with a behavior is that it might bother someone (noise complaints etc), set up a better/more accessible channel for civil disputes. Not everything needs to be a crime.
