laws that you break everyday

Thank you.
Job security for those of us in the ski patrol / emergency medical service / and search and rescue business.

Skiing out of bounds and ducking ropes in the east isn't quite the same as in Colorado or Utah. When I go out west, I don't do that stuff, cuz there it's actually dangerous. Here, we worse case scenario is a scrapped up base.

It's still not allowed though. :smug:

That's why I like driving with my one buddy...he's got a get out of ticket card, or get out of jail free card...it's called a badge.


I don't know about your area, but in mine, that only works for minor violations. You have a badge, and get stopped for a ridiculous speed, DUI, or something like that, kiss the badge goodbye, because it won't do you any good.
 
Speeding once and a while

Talking on the cell while driving

Marijuana

Serving alcohol to minors (In all fairness when a 20 year old friend of 10 years comes to your house and takes a beer...)

Surfing TalkBass at work

TONS of heroine...

...honestly, my rule of thumb is to only break one law at a time, when you start going over thats when cops tend to get angry

Another interesting tidbit: I have friends that have gotten tickets for both pot and cell phone usage. The cell phone ticket was roughly $150 and the pot ticket was $75... made me laugh...

Damn hippies all stinking up the place with their patouli and incense... growning up to be systems administrators running the network that the country depends on
 
Not something I do necessarily, but people who change lanes in the intersection, who turn into the incorrect lane...by that I mean, one lane turn and you turn into the far lane instead of the closer lane.

Something I've done: ride the LRT(light rail transit) without purchasing a fare(not an issue anymore, have a UPass), driven the car(and sped) without insurance(didn't get caught :)), underage drinking in school.

Lets see...I litter sometimes(need to clean the front seat quick I just dump coffee cups out the window), sometimes don't wear a seatbelt, jaywalk, park in the LRT parking lot(for free, but university students are not allowed to park there since there are parking lots especially for students, but they are paid), tailgate(not often), speed.

Somehow almost all the laws we break are car related.
 
I cut through a gas station parking lot today since the person in the lane ahead of me was not taking a right. Half way through the parking lot, and I thought of this thread. I have come to confess.
