The restriction does affect you, even if you don't notice it.
On a more philosophical level, it effects everyone in what it says about our system of justice and the rule of law.
Do we want to be a society where we pass and live under bad laws, flaunting them, ignoring them or enforcing them at capricious whim?
Or do we want to be one where we actively question and work to improve our laws, to the point that everyone knows that the ones left on the books are meaningful and should be respected?
