Is this good advice for lawbreakers?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33577points) June 19th, 2020

1) wear clothing over your distinctive tattoos

2) don’t wear special order one-of-a-kind T-shirts

3) don’t leave Etsy reviews that make you identifiable

It sure is.

It’s kept me out of jail since March 26, 1968! ;-)

SHE is, apparently.

I think that for the most part most criminals aren’t that smart. If they were they wouldn’t drink and drive while on probation. They wouldn’t carry drugs in their car. They wouldn’t speed and bring attention to them selves.
Over and over and over they get busted for really stupid stuff.

I think a lot of people don’t realize exactly how much of a trail they leave around over time. Reading that article, it shows all the steps they took to peace together the pieces and connect them to her. I doubt she ever thought all those pieces would get connected.

In general though, covering any distinctive markings (tattoos/scars) would be a good idea if you don’t want them to be used to identify you later.

Yes. Sounds like the Insta ‘helpful hints’ posts to fellow protesters I read.

I was told by a relative who went to jail in the early years that they are encouraged to get tattoos and photographed just for the purpose of easy identification later, should they break the law in the future or be involved in criminal activity.

Kind of dumb on there part.

What in the world was that women in the video expecting? Fame?
Idiot.

My best advice is; don’t be a fucking criminal.
