The problem with concrete laws are we already have too many of them. You can't go through your day without breaking one you didn't know that existed We have too many laws on the books.
The federal goverment can't count how many laws it has spread of 50 titles of the US code cover 27,000 pages not to mention the statutory code. Best estimates are around 10,000 Federal laws not to mention state and local.

Here are a few of the crazy ones still on the books.

Massachusetts: Any person caught eating peanuts in church may be jailed for up to one year
Alabama: One is not allowed to play dominoes on Sundays
Concrete laws like this can be used to target individuals.
It's weird that those archaic laws aren't exercised from the books! I guess you argue that they don't cause harm if they aren't enforced, but the possibility of enforcement is plain weird!
I guess these things start to grow and evolve as new situations arise or new challenges are made to them, in a similar way to how computer coding can start simple then start to get out of hand for really large systems! But that is even more incentive to remove the useless ones!
