Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.
Under 16 and Overconfident
So this one doesn't really involve any cops but there's definitely some law breaking in there. Back in high school I was dabbling into what I thought were some pretty creative methods of shoplifting. I had to go up to the store just outside of my neighborhood to return something so I figured I'd have some fun afterwards. This particular time I brought a bag from the store in my pocket and acted like I was shopping, picking up items, then went to the back of the store where there weren't any cameras and put them all in the bag so I could walk out the door looking like I had bought everything in the bag (this had worked several times before). This time, though, I guess I looked a little suspicious because a cashier stopped me on my way out and asked to see a receipt. I stopped in my tracks and was like "uhhhh... ummm... i think i... threw it away..." of course scared shitless that my parents were going to find out. I told her that I had used the u-scan and she told me to go find it. Of course there was no receipt to find. On the walk back I was freaking out trying to figure out what I was going to do, and when I got back the cashier had called some kind of manager. This manager lady starts playing hardball like "well we can check the records and go over the videotapes to see if you're telling the truth" and at this point i basically decide that it's all or nothing. So I gather up all the courage I have left and say "okay! you can go ahead and do that, i'm not worried." and shes asking me about the item that I had tried to return earlier and she says "well you're under 16 anyways so you can't return things" and I just take a breath and say "that's not the problem. the PROBLEM is that I have items that I paid for that you're not letting me leave with!" she kind of looked at the other lady and in a very disappointed voice told me I could go. I walked out of there feeling like I dodged a total bullet and never shoplifted again. It still took me a while to feel comfortable going to that store with my parents though... I kept thinking the lady would pop out of nowhere and be like "I checked the footage you little prick!" haha. i guess my performance was convincing enough to make her drop it.

Strange sense of humour in this country.
This is a story of when I first moved to Austria. I lived in the outer edge of town, and often walked just outside the boarder to catch a train back into the city because THAT was faster. The suburban area was really quiet at night and I felt really free when I'd be coming home at 3am or whatever, so I would often take little shortcuts and walk through places that weren't meant...

Where's the snake?
When I was a junior in highschool randomly we would organize a fight club right after school. We would always get a huge crowd formed into a circle. One time the cops came and everyone ran off. I ran to a street a few blocks away with my friend. We thought we were in the clear, a cop drove up from behind and began talking to us. After a few minutes he messaged in on his radio "...

Campus Safety Takes a Hit
My friends and I bought a hookah around October, and being the fine, upstanding citizens that we are, we only smoke it outside, and not in our dorms, exactly twenty feet away from the door to our building. Now we, being college students, also love bud, and have been known to occasionally put some mary-j in our bowl along with the shisha. We've always gotten away with this, as... Read More »

Blending in with the Environment
I had just gotten my real license 3 weeks earlier (after 6 months of a learners permit) and was out driving to my friend's house. I was in a quiet residential area out of the way, so I figured it would be fine to break the speed limit by about 10-15 mph since there were surely no cops around. But sure enough, I blazed past a police car, all the while doing 40 in a 25. There go... Read More »
