When we refer to crimes as being exceptionally easy to commit, we imply that certain unlawful activities can be carried out without requiring a significant degree of effort or skill.
A user took it to the forum, and asked ”What’s the easiest crime to commit accidentally?”. Here are the top responses.
READING SOMEONE ELSE’S MAIL
“Every Hispanic mom ever claims they opened their child’s mail by accident.”, said one user.
NOT PAYING
“Accidentally not paying for a 24-pack of water on the bottom of your basket.”, said one user.
“I saw a lawyer on TikTok saying thousands of people everyday are leaving stores accidentally without paying for everything on self-service terminals.”, said another user.
SPEEDING
“I remember when I was a stupid kid. I was sad that my parents were ‘criminals’ because they told me they got speeding tickets. Not my proudest moment.”, said one user.
“I got a speeding ticket one night for going ten miles over a hill in the countryside. All I did was look away for a minute and think about work on my drive home.”, said another user.
TAX RETURN ERRORS
“Errors on your tax return. Sometimes it’s an honest mistake by someone tasked with handling your paperwork, sometimes it’s your boss or spouse doing something fishy and you find out later.”, said one user.
STOLEN GOODS PURCHASE
“Purchase of stolen goods. Must be happening every day.”, said one user.
EXPIRED VEHICLE REGISTRATION
“Not renewing vehicle registration. Over covid, I absolutely lost track of years…and therefore annual registration.”, said one user.
“My husband’s renewal month was January, but we’d just brought home our first baby and we didn’t have a brain for anything besides diapers and house hunting.
Covid hit and then several months later, I think September, he finally took his car out to pick up food and got pulled over immediately. Neither of us remembered to check the tags.”, said another user.
PEEING IN PUBLIC
“Peeing in public is technically a sex crime in some parts of the U.S. As a dude, I’ve pissed in a lot of places other than the toilet.” said one user.
FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
“Anyone on a communication device that impersonates someone other than themselves can actually be considered identity theft and is punishable by law with prison sentences and a fine. Still, there are so many of them.”, said one user.
USING A FAKE BILL
“Used to get fake cents and dollars when I worked for cash tips a lot. I gave it to a gas station attendant and he used one of those markers on it. Technically they are supposed to call the cops on you.”, said one user.
SHOPLIFTING
“I’ve totally been holding something small and forgotten because I’m distracted or missed something small in my cart and walked out of the store with it.”, said one user.
