That's the wrong way to phrase it. If you don't know if actions are legal or not, you are simply not living under the rule of law.
There is no law, if you cannot reasonably figure out what the law is.

If there are both unambiguously permitted and unambiguously unpermitted cases, then there is very much law, even if there is a gray area where reasonable people can disagree with what is allowed and what is permitted. That's not to say that the ambiguities may not still be problematic, but they don't make the whole structure into "non-law".
