There isn't a single law that I obey as part of a cost-of-punishment calculus. Of the laws I know to any meaningful degree, I'd judge maybe 70% as essentially good, defer to those who wrote them on about 20% that deal with subject matter I'm unfamiliar with, and (would) follow around 9% even though I disagree, because they were democratically enacted.
Of course there's a vast universe of law I'm completely unaware of, such as the financial sector. But whenever I had to deal with some more specialised parts of the law, I found them to be mostly reasonable.
