Sure. This is generally what we do as a society. For example we remove the freedom to very drunkenly drive because it causes more pain and suffering than we like.
Flipping it, I'm pretty sure that by applying a utilitarian comb to your laws, you could probably remove some laws that have no or even an overall adverse effect on happiness.
