5 – Having a Permanent Marker in Public,
- Many countries, states and cities have strict anti-graffiti laws, some places require you to have an ID to even be able to buy a can of spray paint some even extend that to markers.
- But did you know that in many places it’s illegal to even carry around either of those things? Sure you might think that it makes sense for the spray paint, it’s not going to be useful in day-to-day life, but a marker can be plenty useful for drawing innocent cocks on the walls of bathrooms.
4 – Writing ‘Disturbing’ Material,
- There are some states in the US, such as Illinois, where if you write anything that can be perceived as disturbing you are breaking the law.
- The exact definition of disturbing is where one or more person in the story is killed or injured, so basically any piece of modern fiction intended for young adults or older is included in this.
- Also this can be enforced even if you didn’t publish it, or show anyone.
3 – Betting With Friends,
- Ever been at a bar and bet your friend in an arm wrestling contest? Or maybe about the exact name of that actor guy person? Well this is illegal pretty much everywhere with anti-gambling laws.
- Even in places where there are anti-gambling laws make it illegal to host a bet without a license, so maybe if a cop walks into a bar you keep it on the down-low until they leave.
2 – Connecting to Unsecure Wi-Fi Networks,
- This one is actually really poorly thought out, obviously it’s not illegal to connect to a Wi-Fi spot that’s designed for the public, that’s not the problem.
- The problem is that many phones auto-connect to an open Wi-Fi spot without the owner’s input at all and this is still illegal.
- Yet another reason to turn this feature off since connecting to any Wi-Fi without a password protection is a good way to give away all of your personal information.
1 – Using a Fake Name on the Internet
- If you make a social media account with a false name you might get yourself in serious trouble, if it’s an obviously fake name then that might be fine.
- Of course since there’s a limited amount of possible names in the world, chances are the fake name you used so you didn’t have to give away your private information is actually someone’s name and someone in America got caught and fined for making a profile with his boss’s name, even though he didn’t do anything with it.
