I don't think you want to go back to oure Darwinistic times; every society has rules, which are written down and called laws and which are being upheld by a legal system. Otherwise you make your own laws (based on your personal values), your neighbour has other personal values and otehr laws, and suddenly he comes over punches you in the nose. For something which according to your own set of values was OK. The agreement on values and laws that are the same for everyone is one of the basic features of civilisation.

There should be no laws, but you are glad to hear that FBI and CIA try to prosecute Romanian people. If there are / should be no laws, they could not have violated any, so why do you want to prosecute people in the first place?
