Review all laws which include prison sentences for minor / non crimes.  Examples:-

1st class carriages misuse on trains  ( Says fines or imprisonment for abuse)

Selling goods which do not accord with EU weight or numbers ( ie selling by pound weight )

Not paying TV licence.

Defending yourself in the home

citizens trying to stop crime or hooligans
