What stupid breach of the law do you hate?

Plagiarism.
Imagine my surprise when I write an angry note on Facebook and, when a classmate is assigned to write an essay with that particular tone, he writes my essay word for word! Then I found out that someone posted a blog with a bunch of essays made for the purpose of transcending homework assignments. Mine was on there.
... So I printed out the blog and gave it to my teacher the next day.

Stupidity on my part. I didn't think he would be so audacious to steal £40 out of the total £50 that was in my wallet that I left on my desk in my room. I can't believe I was so stupid to believe that he would only steal 10, 20 at the most. I intended to leave a trap to back up my earlier suspicions (Change going missing, drawer contents moved around etc). I got the money back but seriously.
Thankfully the little shit is safely behind bars, away from all of my possessions. And most probably denied the opportunity to reside here ever again. I fucking hate thieves.

Agreeing with all the ones already mentioned, as well as speeding and any kind of reckless driving.
But I also have a special hatred for high level white collar crimes. People who are already rich and way better off than most people alive in the world decide they're not rich enough so they make millions stealing from others, tricking them into doing things they don't understand, violating their fiduciary duties to these people and affecting the lives of who knows how many trusting investors or clients in the process. Entitled bastards who have all the advantages in the world, yet still can't be arsed to work or live within their already ample means, I have no sympathy for. I can't stand people abusing their power when they're already so much better off than everyone else.

Drunk driving because I'm new on the road and don't want my first accident from some shit eating punk with no self control.
I wouldn't otherwise give a shit if people get drunk, but get a designated driver for fucks sake. Or better yet, just take your adventures of drunkness to the bus, then you can entertain sober people and hobos.

Everything that one could assume would happen. First, the teacher checked the website to make sure it wasn't fake. He then reported this to the principal, who arranged for the student in question to be suspended, reported the blog to the host, and got it taken down. Standard procedure.ultrachicken said:
Okay, sure. Here's a thing.
I don't drive. I am old enough and able enough, without a doubt, but I never bothered with a license. My choice. So, I never bothered with cars, right? Well tell me something, then. Exactly how am I suppose to know any obscure traffic violations, which you find in a driver's manual, IF I DO NOT DRIVE?!
Nobody I know who DOES drive ever told me that there were any that applied to non-drivers. Nobody ever said "Hey Jack! You should read this thing!". Not a thing, nobody, not a one. The world of cars never had a thing on me, but I certainly had a COP bothering me. Probably ran short on his quota too.

I'm confused. What actually happened? How'd you get a cop on your case if you weren't driving?FalloutJack said:
OT: Rape, assault, or any kind of abuse. And drunk driving. Honestly, anything that has a negative, lasting effect on an innocent person.
However, there is one breach of the law that I hate BECAUSE doing it is a breach of the law. I jaywalk like it's my job. Why is that a law?
Crossing a highway.runnernda said:
It's like your complaint about jaywalking, but for highways. Now, sometimes it's for shortcuts and sometimes it's almost necessary. But here's a question for you. Why is it that a thing that I did tons of times through my college years and so on is suddenly total lunacy? I did this crap in full view of the police, no problems. You know what I do sometimes when they roll by? I WAVE. I wave 'cause I'm not even aware there's a problem. You can't unload shit on me after years of not doing a damn thing. That's bullshit.
