Illegal Activity

[billybreen]

I answered no, but I'm not sure. Soon after I bought my car 4 years ago I managed to get it up to 145 mph for a couple seconds on a lonely straight stretch of I-40. Would that have gotten me thrown in jail?

Umm, yes.

I'm not touching this poll with a ten foot...erh...pole. Some of us are already pushing our luck by excessive posting to the DBR on company time. Why push our luck further by admitting to criminal activity? What this poll really tells us is the environment in which various members are posting.

He makes an excellent point. If my company ever finds out how much time they pay me to do absolutely nothing, I'm in trouble.

[QUOTE=billybreen;169451]I don't think it's possible to answer 'No' in good faith to this question. Unless you are a super dork, chances are you are breaking some traffic laws (even 5 miles over is technically a violation, right?). [QUOTE]


Yeah, but the question is whether you are "curently" breaking the law.

Most of us aren't driving while we're reading this.

Unless of course if we are texting as we drive.

Which, um, is against the law . . . .


Hmmmm.

Wanna know how fast I can cook a grit in my kitchen?

[CameronBornAndBred]

I would hope not. Would you post it PUBLICLY instead?

Giggling at the unfortunate typo. . .

Sigh. Gotta love typos.

Now that's what I call a literal interpretation of the text.

I don't think it's possible to answer 'No' in good faith to this question. Unless you are a super dork, chances are you are breaking some traffic laws (even 5 miles over is technically a violation, right?). And there are so many unenforced silly laws on the books at the municipal level that you're likely breaking some of those, too.

Technically going 1 mile over the speed limit is a violation. I saw 'cops' where someone assaulted a police officer because he got pulled for going 2 over and was so mad the cop was writing him a ticket.

And I believe EJ goes on to state the question involves if you breaking the law on an "ongoing" basis which could mean constantly. Sometimes I don't use turnsignals.

I beleive you are also breaking the law (I could be wrong) if you know someone that is breaking the law but you don't report it to authorities?

Stupidly enough, the law in CA is that you can't talk on a phone without bluetooth, but you can text/email while driving.

I have no use for the second law myself. What is the penalty for violating it?

[Shammrog]

In a general sense, no, I am not involved in any illegal activity. However, Georgia and some other (largely Southern) states have some strange and obscure sex laws that apply even to married heterosexual couples. I assume that I violate some of these; though not as often as I'd like.

I am currently drinking one of my roomates pepsi max's which I did not ask for. I stole it from the fridge. Call the police and tell them to find FBB.

Doesn't this count as two crimes?
1) Theft
2) Pepsi Max Consumption

See the previous discussion of man's laws and nature's laws.

Are you *currently involved an any illegal activity that could get you thrown in jail if the cops found out about it?

FYI - Public poll.

-EarlJam

*Meaning tonight or anything you do on an ongoing basis (e.g. money laundering, street drugs, etc.)

Sorry, I responded yes to the poll before realizing you meant something that could get me thrown in jail rather than minor stuff like avoiding paying tax on certain items, etc.

If you constantly don't pay tax on certain items, and get caught multiple times, you could get thrown in jail... but then again, I don't know if that was the point of the thread...

Gravity's not just a good idea. It's the law.
