What are the most rule-breaking (non-violent) acts you've committed? (either as laws of a country/state/ city ordinance Or rules of a community, school, workplace, website, etc) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'll start.

Laws:

Aggravated Digital Piracy. Downloading probably thousands dollars worth of content. yaRrr 🏴‍☠️ (btw, check out: [email protected] it's blocked by lemmy.world instance btw)

I flew a drone without FAA LAANC approval, and beyond "line of sight" rules. (I checked air radar online, there were zero flights near me at such low altitudes that I was flying my drone, so zero safety issues)

I sent a string of encrypted text over Ham Radio bands as a "proof of concept" for a off-grid comucation method. (Rattlegram is an app on Android and iOS, that can convert text to audio; Secure Space Encryptor (SSE) is an open source encryption app that can encrypt a string of plaintext into a string of ciphertext (this app is called "Paranoia Text Encryption" on iOS), you can copy-paste this ciphertext into Rattlegram and sent it over Ham Radio, then reverse the process on the other end. Voila, encrypted off-grid communications) Encryption over Ham Radio is illegal, but whatever lmfao, fuck the FCC.

A lot of jaywalking, because I was feeling suicidal and didn't care. Never got a fine lol.

School rules:

Probably the most common is the no-phone rule. (don't worry, my education was fine, didn't miss anything important)

My high-school (in the USA) made you wear a tie, I often don't until staff tells me to, then proptly take it off when they are out of sight. (It's so fucking unfortable) Idk why they even have dress codes when my school was so "ghetto" af.

Workplace:

That no-phone rule again 🙃

Oh, I used a pen and wrote marxist shit on the bathroom walls at my workplace (I'm not even a marxist, I just wanna fuck shit up). Never got caught. Statute of limitations probably expired by now, can't even sue me if they now found out who did it.

Websites: A lot of Terms of Service. A lot of community rules in forums.

What rules have you broken? 👀

I've illegally entered Canada several times.

There is a spot my dad and I used to go fishing. It is a large lake where one side is US and the other side is Canada. On the Canada side there is a dockside store where you can buy beer, maple syrup, and souvenirs. We stopped by the store every year before camping on the US side of the lake. One day we found out there is a little hut where we were supposed to stop first to check in with customs before going to the store. Oops.

we used to go back and forth all the time on fishing trips up north. even bring back produce (wild berries picked from the islands on the other side) without going through customs. we always did have both fishing licenses, though. catch both limits that way, regardless of where on the lake you got 'em.
