Oh, yeah… since I’m nowhere near Chicago, this crosses state lines as well. See y’all in jail! I get top bunk! ---

Yes, every minute of my life for the past one year and ten months as of today. And I’ve never been happier. ---

I once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die well, someone had to!! ---

I probably changed lanes without signaling several times on my way to work this morning. In Houston, using a turn signal is often interpreted as a sign of weakness, and it causes people to speed up just to cut you off. So I don’t do it if I don’t have to. I always signal before slowing down and actually turning though. ---

My cat’s not licensed, nor are her shots current. But she never goes outside, and is friendly, so I’m not too worried about it. And now I’ll go home to a friendly city official at my door and a fine, I just know it. ---

I used to always change lanes without signalling, but I don’t anymore because I got pulled over once for it. And I used to never make complete stops but now I do because I got pulled over for it. And I used to speed, all the time, and quite a bit over, but I’ve gotten two speeding tickets in the past six months so now I try to stay within the speed limit :S. Cops around here are BRUTAL, I’m tellin’ ya! I’m not 21 but I drink alcohol from time to time. I talk on my cell phone while driving but I have no idea if that’s illegal in Kansas or not. I text message while driving which has got to be even MORE dangerous. I went skinny dipping a couple months ago. I love street name signs so if I see one down I’ll immediately snatch it. Only road names though, I would never take anything like a stop sign or a yield sign or something that would potentially cause an accident if it were missing. Now I feel like crap for writing all that stuff down because its a LOT. I used to steal stuff from Wal-Mart when I was in High School. That was a few years back, though. I never got caught and I don’t do it anymore. I kind of feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders from writing all this down, but not really, because everyone else already knows! ---

> [@Casey1505](#): > > White borders on stop sign means the stop is optional if there’s no other traffic, right? And I’ve been known to take the posted speed limit as more of a suggestion than a mandate. No, silly. It means that your traffic ticket will be tried under Admiralty Law, just like the gold tassel fringe on the flag behind the judge denoted… Time to adjust my foil beanie. ---

I ran from the police on my ATV down a set of abandoned railroad tracks. I was looking for something to snack on with **elfbabe**. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/broken-any-laws-lately/328332.md?page=2)
