yes i have , and i bet those how say they never have are lying, think about it ...... even dropping a bit of litter on the floor is illegal, even if it is the most smallest thing, if you actually sat down and thought deeply about the things you have done then look at the stupid laws that there are most if not all of us have at some point in our life broken the law. |

anyone who drives breaks the law. Even if it is minor. Most of us "bend" it pretty badly but do not try to really break it.
If you mean theft and harm to person type of law, then no. |

Keele are wrong the percentage is far higher,most people don't know the law and break it every day and ignorance is no excuse.How many people know its an offence to wash your car in a street or shake a doormat the list of petty offences is huge. |

1. Speeding: usually;
2. Rolling California stops: in rural areas;
3. Driving too close to the slow poke in front of me: occasionally;
And several other malum prohibitum crimes...
It is hard not to break a law, especially in California. |

i believe some were some one has always broken a law. intentional or unintentional. it depends the gravity in which the law has been broken. so we have judges and court for the same if you get cought. |

Zoiieee Ahh

Yes, and anyone who says no to this question is not being honest or is too proud to admit it. We are all sinners. |

sadly yes i am a bad girl....but i am not proud of what i did, i was young and stupid.
broke an entry to this people's backyard and took their cat when i was 10 (only because they werent feeding it, i was gonna feed it and give it back after...they called the police and i had to run and hid for like an hour till the police left)
when i was 15 i shoplifted probably 3 times.
and i speed all the time (not that serious of a crime)
again, not proud of what i did, its very degrading and embarrasing. |
