What do you want to do with your get of jail free card?

Asked by 6rant6 (13710points) March 19th, 2011

Okay, so new legislation allows each US citizen to register to be excepted from any single law for any single crime. For example, if you register with “bank robbing,” and you get caught, the first time you get off free.

So what crime do you pick, and what do you intend to do with your pass?

Insider trading. Now I just have to find someone with information worth sharing that will make me rich.

Hmmm…. mine would require time travel as well. I want to go back in time and assault (at the very least) the man who raped my mother when she was 19. In fact, I want to do it before he commits such a horrific act.

Considering this bill is being talked about again, don’t say anything crazy.

Bank robbery. I’d get the money, but more satisfying would be the fact that they wouldn’t have it any more.

If it is guaranteed that I get to do the crime, I would pick kicking the President right square in the nuts.

Is this a ‘guilt-free’ Get Out of Jail card? If so, rig the British lottery so that my SO’s mum wins. She plays a pound almost every week, and it would thrill her to bits to win.

Otherwise, let the chips fall where they may. Laws seem to be necessary to keep peace and order in general check.

Killing my psycho ex-boss. However, the Get Out Of Jail Free needs to also cover it as a sin against God, and that is probably out of their jurisdiction.

Bank robbing. But I’d wanna pull the whole thing off with comedic flair. And treat the staff and bystanders with kindness. I’m a robber, true, but I’m not tool!

I would make it legal to blow through Highway toll booths!! ;)

For those of you committing bank robbery, you know that at a typical bank branch, you’re not getting much money, right? If you’re going to go, do it right – wire transfer fraud out of the CEO’s accounts.

@tedibear With your idea, and our sheer manpower, we could pull of the heist of the century..

incendiary_dan's avatar

@tedibear I was thinking something like that that. Great minds, and all that. :P

@incendiary_dan and @Joker94 :D I was a bank trainer for years and always told my trainees to not bother with taking money from their teller drawers. It wasn’t worth the felony conviction. If they were going to go, they should make me proud and go big.

Murder, so I can take out people who ask questions like this one! Heh!

@CaptainHarley Sorry, but I’m not going out with you no matter what you’re packing.
