who here has ever unknowingly broken the law (and not gotten in trouble)
2007-02-17, 5:59 PM #1
To let you know what i mean, i will tell you what i did.

I was comming home from my holiday in the US/canada (was only in canada for the first two days) and didnt go through customs because as far as i knew, i had nothing that needed to be declared. When I was going out of the airport, one of those cute customs enforcing beagles went past me without any response at all (this is important)

when i get home and i am unpacking my bags, i find that i still had the pack of opened smoked salmon jerky that i bought on my second day (first full day) in canada. :o :o :ninja:

so, does anyone else have an example? but make sure it wont get you into trouble from FBI webcrawlers :ninja: :P

I used to merge into left-turn lanes without my signal. But that was only for about the first month or two I started driving.

I once crossed Slovakian (or maybe Slovenian, I don't remember) border by foot going from Hungary without a VISA since everybody automatically assumed I was a EU citizen, and I forgot to correct them. :)

That's a bit odd to me. Most people tend to start out with really good driving habits (but bad driving skills) and pick up bad habits as they become more experienced drivers.

I've accidentally brought home a sweater before without paying for it.

Bought some stuff, went back to look at clothes, put a couple in my bag, decided not to get them, placed them back on the shelf, but I missed one.

Brought it back the next morning at the customer service desk, they just said thanks and that was it. :/

I walked out of a mall store with something or other in my pocket (I can't even remember) because I automatically pocket things in my sweater pocket. It's like a purse. The lady runs after me and flags me down. She calls mall security, and I'm like "I honest to god didn't mean to take it." and she refused to believe me. She brings me back to the store and waits. Finally, her manager comes back from her coffee break. After being told about the ordeal, she says that I can go. "Most of the time, people don't mean to." The girl had only been working a week, and was trying to get brownie points by being extra mean to me.

I've never ACTUALLY stolen something material besides online music and videogames.

I was driving home around 1am and made a wrong turn in an area of town with alot of one way streets.
Without thinking I turned down the next street to get back going the right way but then realized about half way down that it was a one way, and I was going the wrong way.

Thankfully it was short, so I was quickly back on the correct street without anyone seeing.
Imediatly after which I tried to get through a light while it was still yellow, but I didn't make it,
and I got caught for that one.

There was this one time I got chips for just 1 e when the actual price was 2.5 e, because there had just been an offer where you got those chips for 1 e, and the clerk didn't seem to remember the offer had got outdated like 2 weeks ago, so I got them for 1 e anyway.

Not really a crime, I know. I took a small blue toy car from the supermarket when I was just 4 and no one ever found out. Except my sister who extorted ice cream from me after she found out. Food times.

In Britland at least, you have to signal for any change in lane, even if it's just to move around a parked car.

I once went to Paris for a weekend with a friend of mine. (We live in the Netherlands, so it's only a few hours driving) In the EU all the borders are open, so we were expecting to go past the French border without even having to stop. But as it turned out, we were being singled out of the line of waiting cars by a customs officer who spotted us. I realized then that we must have been a bit of an odd sight because we were driving a fancy Ford sports model (my friend's, who is a sucker for cars), but at the same time we were looking like a bunch of druggies with wild haircuts and torn jeans, a guitar in the back, and worst of all, with a Dutch license plate.

So before we knew it, two French customs were taking apart the vehicle, taking out the seats, and going through each and every piece of our luggage, the works. We were in a good mood, and decided to have a good laugh at these guys, because we didn't bring anything with us on this trip (knowing the harshness of the sentences for possession in France). As it was beginning to take long, our patience grew tired and we were starting to mock them out loud, because they were doing all of this for nothing. After about half an hour they grumpily ceased their efforts and let us go.

As we were driving into France, I zipped open the side compartment of my weekend bag to get my cigarettes, and noticed a familiar little box sitting there. I opened it, and sure enough it contained a good two grams of prime quality Afghan Border. Apparently I had not realized it was still in there when I was packing my bag! It was pretty hilarious considering all the flack we'd given them... haha. I even remembered the guy checking my bag. It must have been the one compartment he overlooked. We would have been in real trouble if they'd used dogs.

Later that night we decided to smoke it all, just to get rid of it, haha. Best 2 grams of fun ever. :v:

I once, completely by accident, walked out of a convenience store carrying a sports drink I hadn't paid for. No one would have known had I not sheepishly walked back inside and said, "Um, I think I forgot to pay for this."

I definitely drove about 6 blocks the wrong way down Maple Street last time I was in New Orleans. It took everyone in the car a while to realize why every other car we passed was honking at us. You would think that all of the cars parallel parked facing us would have tipped us off. :P

i accidentally stole scotch tape from the university bookstore once. i was going to buy it, stuck it in my pocket to handle some other piece of merchandise, and forgot about it.

later i went "oops" and proceeded to use the tape.

I also had a wrong way on a one-way street experience. It reminded me of all those racing games where you routinely do that to shake off the cops.

Of course, I'm just lucky that there weren't many cars coming my way.

Rushing the court after beating #1 Florida. SEC fines schools if fans enter the playing surface. Instituted this rule a few years back, $25k for a second offense. Kinda silly, considering the SEC is the only major conference to have such a rule.

Actually, under most situations it isn't a law just a recommendation by the highway authoritys. Which means, if you change lanes and nothing happens cops will ignore you, if you have an accident prepare to lose your licence and face the storm.
I have heard that a few officials want to make it a law, which incidently I am in support of :D I have turned without indicating a few times but it's usually because I didn't see the turn till the last minute or there was nothing on the road and no pedestrians nearby.

<edit> Just checked the highway code (2004 edition) and it comes under rule number 85 which has no laws assciated with it </edit>

One law I have broken many times is drinking/eating while driving, comes under not been in full control of the vehicle. I'd like to say I still was in control, at least no less than when using my rear view mirror and failing to see the car in front brake anyway (which has never happened while eating/drinking, go figure) ;)

I was driving with my friends on the hood of my car (Phantom-Seraph being one of my two friends) and they jumped off and then jumped in the car while it was moving.

Then we drove by the sherrif.
