Laws against victimless crimes come to mind.

How far down before you don’t care about victims.

Technically running red lights are victimless

In general, traffic violations are not technically crimes, they’re civil matters, therefore there doesn’t have to be a victim. Also burden of proof is much lower.

Running red lights has a victim when someone gets hit in an intersection.

I’m talking about shit like laws against cannabis, where there are no victims at all, or against prostitution, where the presumed victims are the ones who get prosecuted.
