I have no doubt that it would greatly improve your quality of life in the short term. The thing is, somebody's got to pay attention and stand vigil. If everyone ignores what's going on, it won't be long before some thugs are knocking on your door asking for papers or some other nonsense they already know you don't have.

There is plenty of bullshit to safely ignore. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to completely bury your head in the sand.
