Have you ever done something you later found out was illegal?

[KjellKanon]

Now, here's the catch; Have you ever done something, which, at a later point, you found out was illegal?
Can be pretty much anything, considering certain countries have different laws. Something might not be illegal in your country, but highly illegal in another.

I thought of this while doing something I really had no idea was illegal, seeing as it's pretty stupid.

I was recently visiting Estonia. Traveling from Norway -> Stockholm -> Boat to Tallinn.
On the way back, I figured; "Hey, gotta bring something back, you know."
In to the Tax-Free shop i go, pick up something that's not that common where I live; A bottle of Stroh, 80% Rum.
Happy with my purchase, I go and do what normal "young" people do on said "cruises"; We get shitfaced.

The day after, we dock in Stockholm, get on the bus and head for the border.
When we're approaching said border, with the customs ready to rip us a new one, I asked if anyone knew what the legal percentage of alcohol which we were allowed to bring back into Norway was.
Turns out it was 60%, anything above is counted as narcotics. "Yikes", I thought. A criminal record for something this small? Gah, what a stupid country to live in.
Luckily, the people in the customs didnt think a busload of youths would smuggle anything, so we passed through without any checkups.

Now I'm officially a drug smuggler. My life of crime can commence!


What's your silly story?

I think I stole a small newspaper when I was like 10, I thought it was free, but it turns out it was $0.25.
The rest of the stuff I know was illegal, but I wised up and don't do it anymore.

I was recently visiting Estonia. Traveling from Norway -> Stockholm -> Boat to Tallinn.

Someone on The Escapist actually visited my country. Heh.

Anyway, uhh, no, I don't think so. Everything illegal I do, I always know that it's illegal.

 

[Andantil]

Well, beings that it's illegal, I won't specifically state what it was on this site, but I got into a certain type of porn for a while and later found out that it's illegal.

 

[Lord George]

Apparently certain BDSM acts can now come under assault crimes in the UK, well screw that, I did it before and I'll do it now.

I guarantee you there's something that you do that you don't know is illegal! We just need to look at our big book of "Loony laws and whacky war crimes"

 

[BlackJack47]

I accidentally walked out of a shop whilst reading a magazine, I was never caught.

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Don't you mean, have I ever done someone who I later found out was illegal?

Spoiler

 

[Last of the Chinchillas]

What? What illegal fireworks in the trunk of my car? You're crazy, man. Crazy.

[sub]Want to buy some fireworks?[/sub]

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

I accidentally nicked something, once upon a time. Found it 2 hours later.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

I stole one of those things that buzz when your tables ready. I put it in my pocket, and it never buzzed, so I just walked out with it.

 

[hazabaza1]

One time, I bought two very thin chocolate bars at a corner shop.
Turns out it was three.
WHOOPS. That'll be 44P they miss out on.
