    Not driving and not having kids are two things you can do to exempt yourself from a world of possible legal issues.

        This one always gets me, walking home from the bar drunk (to avoid driving) can get you thrown in prison, or shot. At least in the US.

        Honestly a cop would give you less hassle if you drove home drunk.

          There’s a video where a guy is just walking home from his shift and gets wellness checked by a passing trooper into being arrested.
