“What Is Suspicious To Own But Not Illegal?”: 30 People Share What Makes Them Feel Criminal

lol this would be my kind of luck except I would get a crappy cop who would overreact. I never think about what a series of items might make someone thing. To me, that list is just some gardening stuff and redneck stuff.

"Yeah, know any good spots?"

My friend brought me a quarter of young elk by a line bus. The big packet leaks a little bit of blood. The bus driver asks him: MIL?

Thank god they were white.

Spud Gun!

Everyone should have a potato canon for when they go out in the sticks.

One time I was buying one of those training collars with the blunted spikes from a pet store for *personal reasons* and I didn't know if it was better to explain or have them think I was a terrible pet owner since I'm a semi regular for my cats. I don't think I've ever been more mortified in my life.

I remember saying, "I'm only buying these because my other set of cutters are a bit small..."

I once broke the key in the lock on my bike and went to the hardware store and said to the guy behind the counter that I needed a set of pliers that was able to cut over a bike lock, and he found one out of one of the shelves that he handed me and said 'Then you want this one', no questions asked...

Why not just rent?

I have two, after one got locked in 😅

Unfortunately, Walmart is no longer open at 2 am, so going in at this time to "shop" would be suspicious.

It's also perfectly legal to go to walmart alone in the middle of the night (if you can find any open anymore overnight) and buy rope, duct tape, condoms, latex gloves, bleach, trash bags, and a large kitchen knife. It can be fun to screw with people by buying strange item combinations, like, a pet treat and condoms, or a bunch of candy and condoms, or the murder supplies listed above, etc. Anything with condoms, especially if a small order, will raise some eyebrows. If you are a male and the cashier asks if you want a bag while buying condoms, tell them casually "nah, she's not that ugly".

hahaha!!!

Always get lubricant if you are purchasing zucchini

Depends on the country. In Poland, where I live, one is not allowed to own lock picking tools unless certified locksmith.

I enjoy picking locks, as a sort of puzzle. Very good for patience, fine motor skills, dexterity, sense of touch, Only open locks that i own, though. Where i live, it's legal to have picks ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY. People who do this activity tend to be quiet about it, because if ever a lock that should be locked is found open, who would be first suspect? (although you'd be pretty dumb to not lock it again afterwards).

Also illegal to own in Japan

It's only illegal to possess if you're breaking in where you shouldn't be! I carry one with me all the time ;)

@Jason Doakes, I took it up as a hobby because when I moved into my house there was one door lock which was different from the others and I wasn't supplied a key for it. A bought a starter set of picks and a pinning kit and did all the doors for less than the cost of taking that one lock to a locksmith to be rekeyed. For clarity, in order to disassemble a lock the tumbler needs to be turned slightly, requiring the key even if you have the whole thing removed from the door.

And electrical usage will do the same. Around here you get a helicopter with heat signature ability to determine if they actually have enough for a warrant. It has to be extremely high electric usage though.

They also watch for out of the norm high electric bills. That and in places that get a lot of snow they look for the house or building without any snow or melting snow on the roof when every other roof is covered. From the heat a decent size grow op produces.

lol @first world countries. I don't think our clowns would notice the problem. You have to beg, plead, call repeatedly, etc even if it is a burst pipe spewing water up like a f*****g fire hydrant.

Nah, hydroponic lights more obvious and what drones now look for.

A closest grow tent for any legal vegetable. I once happened across a video of someone showing their indoor grow room. It looked like a professional drug grow room except every plant was legal and edible lol. I made the joke "*cops bust down door* YOURE UNDER ARREST FOR... are these fukin tomatoes??"

In Canada we are allowed to grow 4 " HERBS" at a time :)

I have a grow tent in my basement right now. There’s a beautiful bird of paradise in it. I’m in canada and it’s november

Why is that suspicious???

Growers have been caught sometimes because of their roof. They were the only ones on which the snow melted, the neighbors' roofs were all covered in dnow

chillout brick top

?? I dont get it
