Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

View all responses

Intentionally, yes. I’ve illegally parked, driven over the speed limit, trespassed, and even, in my youth smoked pot back when that could have gotten me in serious trouble with the law.

As for breaking the law accidentally, I lived for years in the American Bible Belt, where it was impossible to keep up with all the Blue Laws. I may have occasionally violated local ordinances by swearing, or drinking spirits, or playing cards, or buying dogfood/nylons/kitchen utensils on a Sunday.
