Given the majority of the public admit to breaking the law when it comes to speeding, what other laws do people feel it is "ok" to break?

ajm

A couple I can think of:-

* Drugs (not for a long time!)
* Drinking in a public place (byelaw)
* Speeding
* The odd physical altercation, always provoked!
* And the pinnacle of my criminal career... Using bolt croppers from the hardware section in B&Q to cut the chain on the trolley so that I could retrieve my pound without having to take the trolley back to a bay

Thats it.... hardly a master criminal!

Disclaimer: This is no way constitutes a confession and is posted in jest!

Poor Guy

taping films off the TV. apparently its illegal to make copies of films.

burning cds mith downloaded muzik

drinking underage. ahem. (13 pints a new record set!!!)

ajm

serious answer:

* Speeding (done to death)
* Ban on mobiles whilst driving (done to death)
* Loads of daft european trade legislation - daft, bin it
* Amended firearms act banning legally held pistols - a disgrace

Are these laws you think it is ok to break, or laws you think it is ok to break and HAVE broken?!

If they didn`t know you were an uninsured driver that was stoned and during a road rage incident pointed a gun at them and fired I bet that would hurt them.

Evading tax by getting parts from abroad sent to the UK as warrenty items or commercail samples.

I have a list that I'm not willing to share on here, most of which I got caught for. I believe it turned me into a good citizen being caught for them, and reforming me.

I park without a ticket almost daily - been doing it for a year now and have saved over £200 so if I get a fine I'm still quids in.

I've driven a solid wheeled vehicle at more than the legal 12mph.

By the way Ame - its only legal to pee against the rear near-side wheel of a steam powered vehicle when at the roadside

I'm pretty sure it's only Hackney Carriage drivers that can wee on their car, but only if they carry a bale of hay with them, or something.

I do know you can't beat your carpets on a sunday in Rochdale...

Do a net search for stupid laws. There's loads of sites.

Of course, you could argue that laws are passed by govenrment, and that government are meant to represent the views of the public. Therefore, if 90% of the country think it is OK to do it, it shouldn't be against the law.

Just a thought.
