The Han Dynasty of China that lasted hundreds of years was started by a prison guard due to a kind of stupid law.
Liu Bang was a prison guard and while escorting prisoners some escaped. In under Qin law the punishment for letting prisoners escape was death, so Liu bang just decided to free the remaining prisoners and make a run for it. Him and some of the prisoners ended up forming a squad and ended up over throwing the Qin dynasty.
Would have probably never happened if losing prisoners didn't have such a harsh penalty.
