30 Crimes So Common They Barely Feel Illegal Anymore

I have a neighbour who let his dogs poop in front of my garage door. I hate that guy. (Edit - Unfortunately he also puts his music really really loudly at 3am and the whole neighborhood hates that so the last time I went to speak to him it escalated and I threatened to call the cops on him, so I'm really not sure that throwing dog poop on his house would fix all that...)

I quite enjoy sailing the seven seas

Well it's a free trial.

In my current stage of life I never drive more than 5 miles over the limit. This is because when I was young and in a hurry all the time I racked up massive fines and points on my license. It's just not worth it - I'll get there when I get there. No need to risk unnecessary expenses or the lives of other people.

Holding your phone while driving is a crime where I live.

Not illegal.

cars are weapons and should be treated as such

Technically in the UK it is legal to drink alcohol in private from 5 years old and I don't know many toddlers who are drinking. Maybe some hungover toddlers around but not all.

and stop signs

This always annoys the cr@p out of me. If you want to be treated like you belong on the road, then ride like it! That means obeying traffic laws. I would never cross an intersection against the light on a bike unless I had completely clear views of potential traffic *and* the light wasn’t changing because the sensor doesn’t detect something as small as a bicycle and doesn’t have a crossing-signal button. You get t-boned in a car, you might walk away. On a bike? You’re pizza.

Traffic lights and stop signs are for bicycles too.

Bicyclists should have to display registration plates and have licences, which get endorsed with points for any infringements of the law.

What percentage do this. Then what percentage of car drivers do this. I'll wait.

I am always extra cautious of cyclists. Many of them are quite impulsive.

lol cyclists go around the lights up on the pavements ,so bloody annoying ,

Or when you keep a safe distance but someone decides its a good space to jump in so now you have to slow down to re-adjust.

I have no idea why, but it the States we call it the California Rolling Stop. Not sure what California has to do with it? 😂

I get nervous when I'm going five to ten miles over the speed limit and other cars pass me like I'm standing still.

If the car is running, you're at the wheel, and not moving, you're still the driver who is driving.

Those who have never peed in the sea/ocean among us, let you be the first to throw a stone at me.

My father was an intellectual property attorney for over 40 years. For the most part no one is going to sue you if you post a guitar chord on your Facebook page. It's too expensive. But if your company tries to sell an exact replica of a patented medication (as long as the patent is still active) you can expect a $$$ lawsuit. Fun fact: my dad wrote the original patent for Mucinex. 😊

Fitting, as people from Massachusetts love to visit NH's tax-free state-run liquor stores.

If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing

If you've ever ridden in a NYC taxi you have experienced all of this. And probably thought you were going to die. 😂

Not illegal in most of the world, The only way to cross the street at all in much of it.

How else can they get to away games? 😁

P**n is a confusing one for me, legally speaking. In some states, it is legal to hire somebody to have s*x with you on camera to make p**n. But p**********n is illegal.

Here in the UK, dark tinted car windows are illegal, the traffic cops carry equipment to measure light transmission, and you can expect to be pulled over if they think you've got illegally tinted windows.

But it's so much quicker than scrooooooooooolling all the way to my actual age 🤣

Walking on any part of the street is perfectly legal where I live - unless it's a motorway. We have freedom here in the UK. Driver training ensures that we learn how to anticipate hazards such as wayward pedestrians. No-one ever "hides behind a car" to jump out in front of a car - any driver who think that's happened is a poor driver.

I really hate people using "pple" instead of "people."

Hardly something done by "everybody".

In WA the rule is to make the turn in the shortest distance - they may have updated that after all the round-a-bouts got built since the shortest distance bypasses the center island

Which is pretty funny really because the way I remember it teenagers past a certain age are OBSESSED with s-e-x. My classmates sure as hell wouldn't shut up about it.

How much money does the typical garage sale make? A couple of hundred dollars? Plus I already paid taxes when I bought the stuff I'm selling

"Most places" No. Absolutely not.

Nope. Not true. Dogs maybe. You don't need one to own a cat. Or a horse.
