I feel that I should refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it might incriminate me.
 
I think I might have removed the warning label from a mattress once.
 
Why do you want to know this?
 
If I break a law, it's because it's convenient and easy. It's NOT because I disagree with it. Disagreement with a law, in my view, is a dumb excuse for ignoring it. If we only paid attention to the laws we agreed with, laws would fail to carry any weight.
 
Do I ever knowingly break the law? Hell yes. And I will likely continue to. I really just don't care what the law is. Never have.

I only follow the law if I

1) agree with it

or

2) Don't think I can get away with breaking it, and don't want to suffer the consequences.
 
Any given day:)

Good plan. Obviously, selling weed in front of the police station is stupid.

Examples:

Speed limit is 25mph and you feel it should be faster so you knowingly let your self go faster then 25mph.

Or

You download movie torrents because you think movie makers shaft consumers.

Or

You open a beer on the drive home knowing you will not surpass the blood alcohol limit even tho you break the open container law.

Just some examples of what I know normal law abiding people occationaly do.

Of course, in my aera there are "30 kph zones" (that's 18 mph)...they must be kidding, it's impossible to drive at that speed

I also watch lots of movies in streaming...I don't know if it's really illegal, I simply don't care

That's what I haven't ever understood, anything under 25mph(don't know the km conversion unfortunately), if you tap the gas for less than a second your average vehicle will be over.

it depends on the aera. But on a straight street with no cars and no kids on it, you can't drive that slow.

All the time.

But hey, its only criminal and a crime if caught :p
 
I break laws on occasion, but I will also accept the consequences of whatever laws I break.

Cities often drop speed limits in their area because speeders generate revenue for them.
That is why we have asinine speed limits everywhere.

You ever notice that when an interstate freeway passes through a city that the speed limit magically drops for no reason.

Actually it drops due to congestion in the area.


65 mph through downtown is contraindicated for pedestrians.... Just sayin.... :lol:

I was passing through Alabama on my way to Birmingham and was on the interstate. It goes through a couple of small towns where the speed limit drops.
No noticeable congestion.

I'm telling you if an interstate passes near any small town they expand their town size to incorporate part of the freeway for revenue purposes.

Yes.

Seat belt laws exist for someone else.

Speed limits are suggestions.

Who needs a licensed plumber or electrician?

Yeah, but I hate whiners who are willing to break laws and then bitch about the consequences of breaking those laws. If you believe in it enough to break the law, you should willingly accept the consequences.

I break the law because I felt it needed breaking, not because I think I can or should be able to avoid the consequences.
