Well that's why I think you should research the history behind the laws you're thinking of breaking, but I'd argue that it is more dangerous to blindly follow laws than to blindly ignore them, if you follow a simple "no theft" rule. Agency, life, property; if you take a broad definition, I'd argue that the only true crime is unilaterally taking from others. It's good to have due diligence on how your decisions affect others, and that's one possible function of a legal system, but it definitely is not the function of ours.
It's like how the concept of "The Market" relies upon everyone having perfect information on every economic issue and decision. They don't, but we still use it. And sure, we suffer for that pretty regularly when we relax regulations too much, but what was that quote? "It's the worst system in the world except for all the other ones?"
