In some countries, seemingly harmless actions can be considered illegal. Have you ever done something without realizing it was a crime?
A user asked the forum, “What’s an actual victimless crime?”
SLEEPING IN THE CAR WHEN DRUNK
“Sleeping in your car when you are too drunk and can’t drive.”
NOT ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH CHURCH ATTENDING TIMES
“Basically, antiquated laws on the books that have to do with religion (mostly on Sundays).
In my state, you can’t buy alcohol on Sunday before noon and car dealers are not allowed to be open on Sunday.
Basically, they are designed to not compete with church-attending times like early morning.”
DOWNLOADING OLD GAMES
“Downloading very old games that are no longer available for sale.”
PUTTING COINS IN SOMEONE’S PARKING METER
