Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
Of course, I mean who hasn’t…lead foot on the gas pedal, okay that’s actually intentional.
Going the wrong way on a one way street.
It would be much easier to fill the page if the question asked when had we intentionally broke the law.
Besides breaking traffic laws, how could you unintentionally break other laws? Accidentally murder someone?
Even if it’s something as simple as jaywalking or littering, we KNOW it’s illegal.
Yet we do it.
I say if nobody’s around to witness it, no harm done. I mean for the little things. Littering, however, is never cool.
Years ago I was driving through the town where I went to high school to catch up with the rest of my family at church. At the last intersection with traffic lights, it turned red. I stopped but then thought, like seriously, why am I sitting here waiting for the green light? There’s not a soul around. Not one other car or person in sight from any direction. So I took off.
Of course my kids were quick to point out (and tell all of my family) that I ran a red light. But there was no harm done. Stop for what?
