"It's not illegal until you get caught."

[Rock Hydra]

I haven't heard this in a long time, but when I did hear it again today, it bugged me.

Sometimes people need to stop and think about what they're saying.

If you run a stop light and no one is there to see it.

Is it illegal?

Yep, I mean if you start saying this then they know you are up to no good and you are going to get caught then.

there is no way to equate petty traffic law with rape and murder.

If you kill someone and noone is there to see it, is he really dead?

Thank you Deputy Dewey... Now get back to the vacum.

I like this version " Its only illegal if you get caught"

illegal- thats a sick bird.

 

[djheater]

This was covered in Crime and Punishment.

I think it's a good rule to live by as long as you're only talking about victimless crimes.

Yes, and as long as common sense is applied. I guess these days we have idiots doing things just completely out of line and can't handle themselves, at least it seems that way

Heh.

What I kind've meant by that is..

The only way to get the laws changed is to go against the grain, so to speak. You have to be open with your views, speak your mind.

That's not the rule. It's not illegal unless you get caught. Using until implies you will go to the P.M.I.T.A. house

I used to teach in a private school; there were quite a few lawyer's kids there.

Their view of the world: "It's not illegal until you get caught AND daddy can't get them to drop the charges."

Two of the kids were best friends. The dog of one of them bit the other. Lawsuit. $120 thousand IIRC. Barely a scar. I asked, incredulously, "you sued his family for that?" Nonchalantly, as if it was normal behavior, "Yeah, that's what homeowner's insurance is for." It didn't even phase either side as they were suing back and forth over the years and insurance paid for it all. Still friends.

 

[dug777]

it's a fun little saying

 

[DrPizza]

Another kid I knew was nailed for DWI. Wayyyyy over the legal limit. D.A. made a mistake, daddy capitalized on it. To this day, if you ask him, "I never broke the law." "I thought you were DWI once?" "Nope, nowhere does it show I was ever convicted of it, therefore I never broke the law."

Your conscience is the ultimate prison.

making an illegal u-turn...

popping the tires of someone that deserves it...

not paying child support. Having your 5yr old kid starve/go without heat...

rape/murder...

taking advantage of rebates, double dipping, and price matching to a fake website you created...
