Shut Your Mouth And Plug Your Nose
...and come out with your hands up!
Let's just quit messing around, and make breathing a crime.
That way, if police and prosecutors don't think they have the evidence they need to put us away for something they "know" we did, they'll always have a good backup.
Ayn Rand pointed out that the goal of the bureaucrats is ultimately to make it impossible to live without breaking some law, to maintain control over the populace. My modest proposal is simply jumping to the logical end of that process.

Breathing, a crime? How absurd!
Now, of course, you may be subject to international regulations as a carbon emitter. Make sure you have a properly-notarized Form 27b/6 with you at all times while breathing!

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
