Todd:

Both versions are grammatically correct as far as I can see. Keep in mind, I'm not an editor. I favor the one using the commas as it emphasizes past action leading to the present (and possibly the future). The first one, without the commas, feels "wordy" to me.

hal:

Can you think of any other popular laws that have been broken by people?

Me:

Can you think of any other popular laws that people may have broken? or Can you think of any other popular laws that people may have broke?

I'm not sure about broken/broke though.
