I didn't really see laws as a threat to safety. While their enforcement can be, that train of thinking can be applied to anything. If you have a machine gun that isn't registered, is the app you took notes about it in a threat to your safety, or is it the law/enforcement? You can have people believe very strongly that abortion is a right or that owning an unregistered machine gun is a right. There may be implicit value based bias if we want to treat circumventing one scenario more favorably than circumventing another. At the heart of the issue, society/government is a threat to anyone who is breaking the law, which is implicitly how laws work.
