65mph Speed Limit - I don't know about where y'all are from, but here in California, most of the highway speed limits were set at 65 after about twenty years of 55. It really should have been 70, but the state was too damn cheap to replace the whole sign and settled for just cover one digit with a patch. Like most Californians, I break this law from the moment I leave the driveway, but I haven't been caught yet. C+Sale of Alcohol after 2:00 A.M. - Here's one I have been nailed on. As a poor college student I was forced to work the graveyard shift at a local convenience mart while still maintaining a full slate of classes during the day. Needless to say, I was basically a zombie for a good portion of my life. I sold a single can of beer to an undercover ATF agent at 2:10 A.M., which netted me a $100.00 fine, 40 hours of community service, and a year of probation. You see, it's illegal to sell alcohol between the hours of 2:00-6:00 AM in California. Great! Close the bars and turn all the drunks out into the street! I've never understood nor agreed with this law. D- Public Nudity - Streaking with college girls (in the rain, no less) is heaven. A+ ------------------

Purchasing alcoholic beverages as a minor Oh come on, is there really anything wrong with this one? It wasn't my fault I sprouted a beard at the age of 15. I just wanted to use it for something. Besides, I didn't drink the stuff. (see below) B+ Because it's fun. P.S. Little tip if you wanna try, small talk with the proprieter.Distributing alcohol to minors Since I didn't like the stuff, and who really likes beer anyhow, I had to do something with it. So naturally it seemed right to, as a 16 year old at the time, give said alcoholic beverages to my 14 and 13 year old buddies. B+ Not as fun as buying it but it did make me fairly popular. Using fireworks This is why Massachusetts sucks so badly. I can't even legally get a hold of things that go boom. Not even things that throw fire, well besides blowtorches, but nowhere near as fun as this stuff. I really like blowing stuff up, and have yet to try manufacturing my own explosives. Ahhh, someday. BTW, any of you who have, will a normal sized firecracker act as a blasting cap? It's been a theory of mine for a few weeks now. A+ Doesn't get much more fun than this. ------------------

I should love to post my favorite breaking-the-law stories here but I am not exactly sure of the statute of limitations for some of them.IP: Logged |

But how many brunchers are police? And how many of those are close enough to you to arrest you? And how many of those would, considering how popular a bruncher you are. I highly doubt you've killed anyone.------------------

Breaking Curfew - It's alright at first, but when you realize that the cops aren't going to do anything unless they are in a bad mood, it loses its thrill. Why live on the edge, when there's no risk of falling? - C-IP: Logged |

Distribution of Pornography
This is going to require some explanation: During the Apartheid era in South Africa, we had a great set of laws covered by the "Immorality Act" -- some of the things that were illegal included marrying someone of a different race and the possesion and distribution of pornography. From 1988 to 1991, I ran one of Cape Town's largest dial-in Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). A whole batch of porn GIF files had come into the country via another BBS and I ran a linked system. Thus, one Tuesday afternoon, I answered the front door to be faced with 5 *huge* fuckers from the CID (Crimes Investigation Department). They confiscated my PC and interrogated me for approx. 4 hours. I was 15 at the time. My lawyer managed to get the charges dropped because the resolution of my system didn't allow for photo-realistic presentation of the images (The BBS ran on an old monochrome system). Neither he nor I were about to tell the South African Police or Judicial System that if you copied the same file onto that other machine over there ... Voila! :-) B. Would've been an A+, but they kept my PC for 6 months and that sucked. Sodomy: Lather, Rinse, Repeat! A+. (Edited to conform to the Immorality and Group Areas Act).

Cigarettes & Alcohol as a minor: I was so bad at this. In fact I'm still bad at it, since, at the grand old age of 23, I do still get ID'd for cigarettes (purchase age = 16). Which is sort of flattering. I think.
B for Bo-o-o-oringPublic Nudity: actually, AFAIK you can only be arrested for indecncy of any sort if someone actually complains. If everyone just stands around and watches with interest then you[re a street performer. Not a dirty old slapper.
A- because people might give you their spare change Sodomy: legal between two men. Illegal between a man and a woman. At least it was when I did it, although I think it may only be illegal in Northern Ireland now.

Purchasing Alcohol as a minor ever since the night before I graduated High SchoolSupplying same to a minor both as a minor and as an adult... I wonder if that is double jepordy Sexual acts with a minor at the time I met MSO (legal wife -- look up polyamoury) she was 17 and I was 24 funny thing is her dad knew how old I was and had a great time inviting me to her 18th which I didnt know (I assumed she was as old as the people she was hangin out with and never asked) Importing Alcohol across state borders in Utah it is illegal to bring any alcohol into the state in any form what so ever without paying your sin tax. I used to make quite a service of running to Wyoming to bring back booze.

speeding, of course. It's a bad law, I feel justified in driving a reasonable speed, even if reasonable is 87 mph. Cvarious minor computer crimes. Unauthorized access, denial of service, copyright violations, cracked programs. All very minor stuff which carry penalties way out of proportion. Fortunately, never been caught. B Various sex-acts. Both Texas and Georgia have some stupid sex laws on the books which are never enforced. Which is a good thing, as I rather like oral sex. A+ [edited by the authorities] ------------------
You can stare at her as much as you want, Steve, but she wouldn't swap spit with you if you were the last hominid wearing pants.

Ingestion of Illeagal Substances: When it was fun it was very very fun, and when it was bad it was horrid! Really, I had some amazing experiences on some hallucigens, and some scary horrible ones. All in all, I think I've outgrown that part of my life, and doubt I will do drugs again.-A or F depending.Sale of Illegal Substances: Eh, I made quite a bit of money for a Jr. High student, but damn, getting caught sucked, and it definitely was NOT worth it. Thank Pete for nice/corrupt police officers. C- Oral Sex: Such a stupid law... A IP: Logged | |
