are ALL laws valid and enforcable? This is the problem we face when people think that 'laws' are what drive a society and that to violate any law makes one a reprehensible criminal, regardless of the constitutionality of said law.
Absolutely not. Violating laws does not make one a reprehensible criminal. I've broken many in my life. However, there is a very large gap between misdemeanor convictions and felony convictions. Petty theft is different than forcible rape, and I hope you realize that.

There are very few examples of "minor" crimes becoming felonies, and in the case of multiple convictions of "driving under suspension", a person *IS* a dangerous criminal. Cars are deadly weapons just like any other, and they must've had their license revoked in the first place for a very good reason.

As for the repeated thread-jacks, we're talking about DNA collection here, not interracial marriage laws or the effectiveness of laws in general.

You can't "accidentally" become a felon.
