I've already stated, as a law abiding citizen, it holds less fear than mob rule by feral gangs.
You recently felt your own safety was undermined by the removal of a door lock.
I fear all decent peoples' safety would be comprimised by the disappearance of the laws we currently live under, and which helps us function as a society.
A world where no locks were a deterrent to stopping people ransacking your home, and no police, or fire service to call on, if you were attacked.
That sounds a much more fearful reality, than some paranoid 1984 fantasy.
