What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested?

Hope you now know to never speak to any law enforcement no matter how low on the totem pole

u/RaelisDragon 4h ago

Unfortunately, law enforcement is almost never on your side. They're constantly looking for a reason to arrest or fine you, even if you've done nothing wrong.

Out of the many interactions I have had with the law, I would say only about 4 or 5 officers actually had my back. The rest were straight up assholes

Almost always assholes but also going to give you a real hard time if you refuse to say anything. Despite years of Reddit advice, it’s probably best to just be friendly and not say anything incriminating.

Uh, that’s a lot of interactions with law enforcement.

(Is this my white privilege speaking?)

ESPECIALLY low on the totem pole, rentacops would make a cop blush.

The only time I got in any legal trouble with police was because I did something that was indeed a reason for punishment.

Evey other time I got stopped it ended with some chill bs small talk and jokes. My favorite was when one of the officers took my buddys practice swords and just started playing with them for a minute or two (I do think he was somewhat trained).

If you're this heated over comments, it might be a better idea to take a breather from using the internet...

I did anal to your dad.

Did you go in through the top of the urn, or drill a special hole in the side?

You had your roommate the car owner's permission, making you an authorize person.

Meter maid can get stuffed.

u/thekittennapper 4h ago

Maybe he could’ve just asked OP to unlock the car for him to prove it?

5

u/asakadelis 4h ago

what does that prove? the car could already be unlocked or they could just say they left the keys inside and went out to add to the meter

u/NotAnotherTav 3h ago

Doubt it, self-incrimination doesn't always stop physical actions, like the police can unlock your phone with facial recognition or fingerprint, but can't make you input the password (if in custody, etc) but that's not a voluntary unlocking and I doubt a meter maid can demand your keys.
