You cant "steal" wireless. An unsecured wireless network is just that...

Me: I jay walk daily.

I disagree. Even if it is 100% unsecured probably the person(s) on the other would not agree to your using it and the only reason it's unsecured is because they hadn't anticipated anyone else using it or they didn't know how to set up a secure network in the first place. I leave my car doors unlocked. That does not mean I want people getting into my car and taking things.

Oh christ, take your irrelevant examples else where. Would you lock your car if you *knew* people were getting into it? Stupid is as stupid does i suppose...

You don't like my example but you follow it up with one? If I knew people were going to get into my car I would meet them at the car and deal with them. A logical, thinking person can both commit a crime and admit it's wrong. People devoid of character must convince everyone they did not commit a crime.

I used your example because its clear that your logical skills are flawed. I wanted to make sure that i didnt loose you with a relevant example. Note that, I didnt include your "taking things" because it is completely irrelevant. What things are you "taking" if you use an unsecured wireless network?

To clarify your irrelevant example: So, if you knew that people were getting in your car at random times (not sure when, ever) and just sitting, not "taking stuff." Would you then lock your car? I hope that is not beyond your limited logic skills. But, stupid is as stupid does i suppose...

If you're getting into my car just to loiter, yes I will deal with you. If you are poor and hungry I may invite you into my home for a meal but If you're doing it just because you don't want to pay for a car of your own you are asking for trouble. Some laws are more than just to prevent people from stealing. There are also things known as property rights.
The entire world does not have the right to play in my yard. Just because they may not be damaging anything does not mean they are not committing a crime by being there against my will.
I wonder if your big intelligent mind can grasp these complex ideas?
 
- Speeding (although not as much as I used to)
- Jaywalking
- Public Indecency
- Piracy (movies, music, high sea, Hi-C)

... I think that's about it.
 
Exceeding a speed limit is as criminal as I get.

I got pulled over for that once. I didn't realize that bikes had to obey street signs.

Man charged with wireless trespassing

Florida man faces 3rd-degree felony charges after using another's wireless network from his laptop
 
jaywalking... but who doesn't around a college town? i've jaywalked in front of cops before without realizing but its not like they really care as long as you don't hold up traffic.

speeding... nothing excessive, but who doesn't go over 65?

You can cross a street wherever you want - not just a crosswalk.

It's only jaywalking if you interfere with the normal flow of traffic. If you cross and do not interfere with traffic, it is not jaywalking. Though I'm not sure if every state is the same about that.
 
Normally go 15-20mph over the speed limit. I find the speed limit to be a suggestion, and 80-85 to be much more reasonable on the highway than 55-65. And I have the tickets to prove it, but I've gotten the worst thrown out (105 in a 75).

i ignore parking regulations regarding how long you can park somewhere, and have enough parking tickets to prove that.

the only thing here that pisses me off is people who drive without car insurance. wtf?
 
I drive the speed of traffic or a little faster.
Also, I do "rolling stops" at stop signs sometimes.

When the light is yellow I accelerate and sometimes it turns red when I'm in the intersection.

Also, I violate the EULA on my copy of WoW and sometimes play on a non sanctioned server.

Sometimes I blow up fireworks in IL, where fireworks are illegal.

I sometimes don't carry any money on me at all (this may be urban legend, but I've heard that in IL, you can technically be arrested for Vagrancy in some places if you don't have at least $1 on your person)

Sometimes I transport fireworks that I bought in Indiana through Illinois (to Wisconsin, where my grandparents live and we usually spend 4th of July.)

I jaywalk a lot.

When I'm riding my bike, I blow all the stop signs in residential areas when there's no car traffic.

If somebody's in the left lane in front of me on the highway and there isn't heavy traffic and road conditions are good and they are going 10 less than the speed limit or slower I turn on my high beams.

Your friend should have gave him a map of all the donut places in town.

If I was the cop I would have ticketed him for littering.
 
Technically I speed every time I get on a highway, but I always move with the traffic, so is it really a crime if everyone does it?

Also, smoke pot occasionally... but that's like speeding 10km/h or jaywalking. Technically a crime, but practically no one gives a crap.
 
Drive with mismatched car registration.

But fuck them, I was forced to pay for my registration JUST before moving and the registration costs here are retarded high.
