my favorite part of "it's only illegal if you get caught" is that it sounds like a joke but it isn't. that's literally how it works. it's not even a technicality. you can genuinely only get charged with a crime if you get caught and they can prove it in a court of law, beyond all reasonable doubt. that's not a bug. that's a feature. it's literally not illegal if you don't get caught.

@sodiboo or to disparage ABBA
@sodiboo but if nobody sees you doing anything bad (and they can't prove it) then you're not a criminal, so everything's fine
@sodiboo As a Swede I can confirm that this is true.
@sodiboo As Traveling Wilbury fans know, "In [New] Jersey anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught."
