I cycled on the pavement to avoid the temporary one way system on the way to college this morning.
I'm sure I broke the speed limit this morning at some point on the way to work. Also, last night I torched some herb.
Although I'm generally a 'grandma' driver I didn't stay within the speed limit yesterday because I wanted to shave some time off my 3.5 hour drive.
I can't really tell anybody about the last time I broke the law, because I'm pretty sure the statute of limitations has not yet passed. However, I did cross the center yellow line of the highway yesterday. It was a no-passing zone, I wasn't passing anybody, and the roadway was actually pretty empty in my vicinity. I crossed the line just because I felt like driving on a wider road. I felt a bit like royalty.
I drive a really bad looking Mazda with a paint scheme I endearingly call, "Urban Theft Deterrant". I was pulled over and approached by two officers as though they had reason to believe I was of some kind of danger (more than the normal precautions) They ended up letting me go on a verbal warning. I think they pulled me over simply because of my car looking a bit disheveled.

So, you have never broken any laws?
I could imagine how your story would go if you were black. Pulled over for no reason.... it would have looked suspiciously racist by the police.
I have had a couple of speeding tickets.

Like my dad used to say- you are paying taxes for
both sides of the road...

I'm constantly speeding. As far as breaking laws...other than vehicular laws, I can't think of any laws off the top of my head that I break with regularity. As a high school kid, I broke drinking and smoking laws...

You would feel right at home here in the deep Brazilian south...
I bought a cookie last week, and the girl accidentally gave me two. In my defense, the two choco chip cookies melted together to become one super cookie! No, there was no returning them even if I wanted to. :-\
Oral sex is legally prohibited in San Francisco, last I checked, so I'm expecting SWAT to kick down my door any moment because I must be on their 10 Most Wanted list. 8)
I've been known to ride my push-bike without a standards association approved helmet.
Sometimes when leaving the petrol station to park in the parking lot I don't put my seat belt on.
I know I'm a villain, but I can't help it. It's an hereditary thing, I'm descended from bread stealers and handkerchief thieves.

Seriously? In public or just in general? O__o
Because i don't understand how my private bedroom sex is anyone's business.
Is this the last time I broke the law or the last time I broke the law and got caught?
;D
Lemme see...
Drove around with the road tax unpaid - that can pretty much get you a hanging where I'm from...

So... did you have an accomplice or was this a solo crime? That would be impressive.
In the Uniform Code of Military Justice, it is illegal to have sex in any other fashion than missionary position through a hole in a sheet that stays between you so you cannot see each others' nudity. They're in the process of changing that law to make consensual sodomy okay.

Just the last time you broke the law. I haven't been caught for any lawbreaking since I was a schoolgirl (truanting).

That's recycling, reusing actually which is even better.
The boy scouts should give you a badge for that.
Speeding, but never more than 5 over.

5 what..? kmph? mph? m/s? Some units of measurement can make 5 into quite a lot of speed :P
Speeding on the motorway (freeway). Very rarely speed on urban roads.
Smoked quite a bit of chronic over the last few days whilst busting my ass moving. My attitude and motivation would have been fisgustingly low if I didn't smoke.
My, my, my...you all must feel like quite the criminals :P
I personally feel that giving these deep Brazilian south natives a car should be against the law.
Speeding would be my latest infraction. Happens everyday going back and forth to work. Safety in numbers prevents me from receiving penalty. Also I've had state cruisers follow along side maybe checking my jeep for modification restrictions. It's only 2" above maximum ride night. :P

That's 5 over the speed of light...*chucklin*
No....mph. I really don't do a lot of bad stuff. I work for the city and need (and like) my job.
Well....
Constant speeding just over the legal limit (in a 80km/h zone, I keep the speed around 90km/h) (haven't been caught yet ;D nad even with those damn buckets (speed cameras on the road sides), I just slow down when I come across one and speed up imediately afterwards)
Minor other things in city traffic (like hell I can tell where the lane in the city is supposed to go if there's no lines...)
Oh, and last week I drove against red lights. In my defense though I must say that it was around 10.30 pm, I stopped and waited about thirty seconds and since there was no-one comming or going from any other direction I decided that the hell with it. And I was taking my hungry youngr brother to McDonalds. I rest my case.

I sometimes go into Leeds early on a Sunday morning (6am 'ish as I am a natural early riser) to take street/architectural photographs when there is next to nobody about. I get so fed up with the traffic lights that still think it's rush hour! >:(
I own illegal weapons, and illegal explosives. I also look the other way when my mother is breaking the law... Which is more often than I am comfortable with.
Also perch guiding without a license.

For someone who does not bother too much with hiding his identity... Nice admissions :P

What's wrong with helping a lost fish?
I'm no idiot, my stuff is well hidden. Plus I don't think saying I have something that may be illegal on a forum is grounds for a search warrant.
I have a lot of dirt on my mother, and I was very unspecific in my allegation. I would sing like a canary if they asked me to, and I'm pretty sure unless I actually attempt to conceal it it's just a misdemeanour.
A perch guide is a member of the Quinault Indian Nation who is paid (25$ a person last time I checked.) by a group of people not of the tribe to basically babysit them when they fish for perch off the beaches. Unguided fisherman not of the tribe get their fish and gear confiscated.
Technically I have a guide license... I just don't know where it is. I havent ahd it since last summer, and I've yet to be carded. I just keep forgetting to get a new one.

In order to get a search warrant there must be probable cause and enough evidence of guilt to get a judge to sign off on the search warrant. Saying something on an internet forum is no different from writing it on a sheet of paper or saying it over the phone.
So, yes it can be used against you.
Not to mention that I don't want to have to mess with the authorities if they need an admin view in order to confirm your identity; And not because I'd decline (not going to take up the cross for someone else's mistake...so to speak) there are too many closeted people on here and I'd be afraid the authorities would ask for more access than they need and could easily get it due to the patriot act. So let's try not to increase the odds that one day the fbi might want me to release information.
This thread was meant in fun...no one is going to get in trouble for admitting to speeding or other mundane laws...but illegal weapons is not a small deal.

And thus my point is made.
The thing is, you see, that if you are not being monitored by somebody for something, you probably have little to nothing to fear when admitting whatever you please online. If you are, however, then they will add your admissions to the file, be sure of that.
Additionally, should you come under an investigation for something in the future, the police will use the internet to try to gather facts and/or pointers to facts. A full confession somewhere online will take them a long way, even if they can't use it in court... And words like "illegal explosives"... Well, that they like. Especially over in States, or so I hear.
the only laws I broke are making u-turns and driving above speed limit. Boring stuff like that. Never been caught though (yet)
