Broken Laws is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Roy William Neill, remarkable for the appearance of Dorothy Davenport, who is billed as "Mrs. Wallace Reid".

[1] Broken Laws, with its plot of parental overindulgence, is the second of Davenport's "social conscience" releases, to be followed by The Red Kimono (1925), based on a true-life story of white slavery.

[2] As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Christmas Eve finds Ralph Allen (Wallace) breaking the speed laws and eluding the police.

When eighteen, his mother buys Bobby (Rankin) a car and he begins to lead a wild life, exerting a bad influence on Patsy (Corbin).

By June 1923, Davenport had co-produced, starred in and toured the country with Human Wreckage, a moralistic warning about the terrors of drug addiction.
