Common sense laws that you think should exist

List the laws that you think should exist, but that don't now either because they're impractical, unconstitutional, or simply haven't been proposed. The law doesn't necessarily have to be implementable, but should simply address an issue that you think needs to be addressed.

I'll start:

-It should be illegal to buy booze at liquor stores with change.

-Everyone convicted of a DWI should have an Interlock breathalyzer thing installed in their car.

-Sugar tariffs and corn subsidies should be ended.

-The federal government should just go ahead and use eminent domain to condemn several sites across the country to store nuclear waste and build facilities that are almost comically huge and shielded so as to assuage the neighbors' fears of contamination.

-Scratch-off or other completely chance-based lotteries should be banned everywhere except for casinos. Yea, I know people love these, but it's so blatantly a tax on the poor and uneducated that it's completely counterproductive to the goals of our social programs.
