Almost everyone does drugs, or has done drugs at some point.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers." - Ayn Rand

Purchasing the cigarettes is illegal, smoking them is not.

1. Pirating
2. Drug/alcohol related crimes (underage consumption/DUI/etc)
3. Statutory rape/gratification of lust with a minor

Tax Laws, specificly getting paid "under the table" without paying SSI and other payroll taxes.

That and pulling tags off of mattresses. I mean who can resist?

guilty of virtually all of the above (excepting statutory "romance" offenses and being a member of government, but including the mattress tags) and stealing bowling shoes. and i consider myself very honest.

i have to add: failing to claim "under the counter" employment to the government. and employers disregarding labor laws. and landlords not paying interest on your security deposit when you move out of an apartment.

and owning too many cats. :oops:
