Why do laws exist?

First off, laws mean absolutely nothing if they are not, or cannot be enforced. That's why there are thousands of laws on the book that mean nothing because they are never enforced by anyone.

Not sure if you're being serious.

What purpose do laws exist

We live in a society. Ever see a city filled with 8 million lions? Nope. Because they don't have laws. Laws are rules everyone agrees to follow in order for society to function properly.

how can they be misused?

Well American laws automatically presume the accused innocent, and the burden of proof is on the accuser to prove they committed said crime/offense. People file fake lawsuits and police reports all the time, so that's probably how they're misused the most.

Morals of the masses. Morals are subjective. The vast majority of laws are bullshit, why? Because the majority of people are bullshit.

Laws exist for two reasons. The first is to control the population. The second is to reduce freedoms. Laws force people to act in certain ways, but have no affect on politicians, bureaucrats, or other government lackeys.

Government is the biggest gang around. You do what the biggest gang says, or the biggest gang will punish you.

If you ever find yourself wondering "why should I do what government tells me?" Just change that question to "why should I do what the biggest gang tells me?" Your reasons for choosing to comply/not comply should be the same in either case.
