what have you got away with recently?

i just got officially let off the hook for charges of Breach of the Peace and Assault:
Dear Sir

CASE AGAINST YOU

You have been reported to me for allegedly committing the following offence(s):-

(1) Breach of the Peace on 31 July 2006 at George Street, Edinburgh
(2) Assault on 31 July 2006 at George Street, Edinburgh

Consideration of this report shows that the evidence is sufficient to justify my bringing you before the Court on this criminal charge. [nearly shat myself at this point, particularly since the police said they weren't going to press charges for assault]

On this occaision, howver, I have decided not to take such proceedings, but you should note that if a similar report against you is submitted to me in the future I am unlikely to refrain again from taking criminal proceedings and you may well be prosecuted.

Yours faithfully

[name removed]
Procurator Fiscal Depute

so, thank fuck for that!
*wipes brow expressively*

i also got let off a substantial library fine for being honest and using my best smile on the librarian :D.

I broke something and nobody found out.

Every deal, I steal internet usage from the local uni. It's not my account, since I'm not a student.

I just 'asploded a burrito in the microwave and I'm pretending I don't know what happened or who did it.

I got off for not using my traffic signal, open container, no seatbelt, no insurance and no inspection sticker. The cop pulled me over for not using my turn signal. I told him that was because they didn't work, "see, I have no inspection sticker because my turn signal doesn't work. I can't get insurance because I have no inspection sticker. The repair place has to order the blinker switch from Detroit and it'll cost me $200.00 so I had to have a beer." He didn't bother to ask about the seat belt

you volunteered information that could have got you done for drunk driving?! that was a bit foolhardy wasn't it? what if the cop had been a dickhead?

I killed a hooker in this strip club in DC last friday..

Well, there was this bank robbery the other week. I- oh shit, I hear sirens!

*disappears*

[I was never here!]

:p

You still have the arrest on your police record, y'know.

What have I got away with? Erm...not much. Was being completely outplayed in a chess match on Monday night only for my opponent to miss a brilliant possible counter-attack I had lined up. That's about it, though.

*looks*

*flees*

I have wireless internet for the sake only of the people that live upstairs. Quite the powerful connection they seem to have. I've never tried to justify it :) .

I sell Russian brides on the black market. *nods*

I know dammit. The next time you ship, two things; 1- Don't use the Post Office. Their two day Priority shipping took 2 weeks. 2- Put food and water in the box with her, willya?

What have I gotten away with? The gun-running to Kenya was a bust They wanted German automatics, not Italian. And I got caught going through Customs.

Other than that I got away with 80 in a 60 when the cop decided to pull over someone who was going faster than me.

you volunteered information that could have got you done for drunk driving?! that was a bit foolhardy wasn't it? what if the cop had been a dickhead?
I figured I was caught, so I told him everything before he could ask. But I wasn't driving drunk, just with an open container. It was my first beer. And at the time I was young enough for flirting to work.
A few years later I got pulled over for doing 65 in a 35. The cop and I get started talking about our divorces, and he let me go with a warning.

i know that, but that shouldn't matter unless i get arrested and charged again, which i don't intend to happen. i'm just glad i don't have a criminal record.

yeh, i guess honesty is the best policy when pulled over in a car. a couple of years ago i got pulled over for speeding at night time on a country road. i explained to the police that when the car behind me started tailgating me i took it as a challenge and decided to try and lose them. the car was keeping pace for a while but, unfortunately, just as i was beginning to gain ground on them they turned on the blue flashers. moral of the story: never beat a police man in a race. anyway i got away with that one by telling them exactly what i said here and they just chuckled and told me to be more cautious in future, no reprimand for speeding at all!

I "got away with" the exercising of my right to free speech by protesting against the government in Parliament Square.

Got cautioned and told I'd appear in court...

...but didn't.

Serious Organised Crimes and Police Act (2005) is insane.

What a coincidence. I had sex with a murdered hooker in a strip club in DC last Friday.

Too inappropriate?

I wasn't as lucky as you. I'm still going to have to go to court. really sucks considering the charges. here's what I say to Girard :upyours: .

Not really. I've been using her body in a wheelchair to smuggle crack ever since. I owe you one.

what are you charged with?

well ummm

It's kind of bad.

I don't think it's bad at all, but the cops and the courts and the do gooders do.

I'm being charged with a Class II Felony of sale of an illicit drug in a school zone.

BTW, that drug is weed.

Definitely inappropriate, you probably didn't pay her.

Hey, you didn't take out insurance on your bride, so you don't get a new one or your refunds. Although we have been talking about including store credit.

I killed a man in Reno.

....Just to watch him die.

they say the perfect crime is unheard of.

so i plan to keep it that way ;)

I headbutted somebody in the kidney once...

I lied my age to get on an overseas cruise, for which I was underaged. On the way back, I smuggled in tobacco three times more that it's legal to bring without declaring it. (I don't smoke; I intended to sell it at my school.)

I also ate a luxurious dinner on the ship without paying for it, but I was drunk to know what was going on anyway.

well ummm

oops. i'm guessing you're still at school and if you were only selling to people your own age then they should be more lenient. if you were selling weed to 12 year olds though you might get shafted. if not, the only bad thing you did is you got caught ;)

Only thing I've "gotten away" with was doing 65 on a county road about a half mile from where I work. Flew right past a deputy headed the other direction.

Granted I knew the deputy (only two of them drive that particular type of vehicle and I know 'em both) but still.
