Laws are there for a reason, and it’s likely safe to assume that without them, chaos would ensue. However, while some rules are there to stop crime and wrongdoing against people, others seem to regulate situations where no one’s actually a victim.

The ‘Ask Reddit’ community members recently discussed what is or feels like a victimless crime. They shared their thoughts after the user u/secondfiddle00 started the thread, which covered everything from dumpster diving to collecting rainwater. Scroll down to find more of redditors' answers on the list below.

“Believe It Or Not, It’s A Crime”: 35 Examples Of Victimless Crimes As an ER nurse, I give a lot of s**t away to patients against the rules or advise them where they can get it cheaper. Big hospitals have more money than God, but want me to send you home with 1or2 wound supplies for a wound that will take 4 weeks to heal. F**k that. Here's a box of 50 for your purse. I never gave that to you. Hey, you need crutches, and here they are, but first. Before you sign that you got these. These crutches are $1000. The same or better are on Amazon for $50 or less. I'm not telling you how to live your life, but I can offer you a free wheelchair ride out to your sons car...

You could argue that the hospital is the victim here. I'm telling you that the hospital gets a discount on supplies and marks them up 1000% to sell to those going through an emergency. Who's really the victim?

Edit:

Appreciate all the support! Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope I never have the pleasure of taking care of any of you. Stay healthy people and keep living your life to the best you can.

To those saying I could get fired for this. I appreciate the concern. I can almost guarantee I will one day be fired for this. It's worth it to me. I will get another job in a different ER and continue my work.

Regarding the people saying I'm contributing to the problem. The problem is in the USA Healthcare model. Everything from insurance to CEOs. If my treatment and proper care of the individual is contributing to the problem, frankly, I don't think I care tbh. I will continue.

Lastly. Various arguments have been made to if this is a victimless crime or not. I don't disagree with some, but it's the closest thing I have to answer the question. Apologies if it doesn't 100% fit.

Stay beautiful people

Assisted s*****e. As long as it’s humane, the person is of right mind and age, and there is sufficient cause for such a procedure. Death with dignity has been withheld for too long as a civil society.

Totally agree it should be legalised (under strict controls, obviously). Refusing a humane end to a suffering animal is rightly considered cruelty, so why do humans not get that same mercy when they need it?

Anything related to food stamps. I’m sorry but food insecurity is not ok for anyone to go through. I don’t care about fudging the numbers to get food assistance. I don’t care about people who sell their food stamps (I know, it’s cards now, but you know what I mean). If you’re desperate enough to use fraud to get food or you’re selling your free food access to someone else who needs it because you need the money for bills, I’m ok with it.

My food stamps were cut in half in March. Now I get $126 for the entire month. My SSI is $1200. Like many other people in this country, I can only afford one meal a day. Rather ironic, as I'm morbidly obese.

Entire species were hunted to extinction (Arabian Ostrich) or near extinction (bald eagle) for their feathers. They had to make possession illegal because its way too easy to shoot a bird 1/2 mile from the nearest road and then claim you found the feathers on the ground.

Prostitution. Ain't nobody's business if two more more consenting adults conduct a financial deal that involves bodily fluids.

Worth noting that being gay in ‘most’ countries was still illegal well into the 1900’s, from memory I think it was decriminalised as late as 1996 in Germany. So to my mind we shouldn’t be pointing fingers at developing countries for their ideas, religions and beliefs because we are only talking between what 25-75 years ago when ‘we’ held similar ideas.

I can take a seed at home, put rain water on it and expose it to sunlight, dry the flowers, bake them into a cake and make some THC edibles, and it doesn't even harm the air quality due to smoking. That's a crime. No money goes to criminal gangs, and I would risk losing my job and going to prison.

Or I can manufacture alcohol and sell it legally, knowing that it causes people health issues, and that others cause crimes when drunk and disorderly, and that's absolutely fine and not a crime.

Weird.

We have a certain religion here where I live that don't work on Sunday's. But of course they will go to church then go out for brunch afterward and make other people work even though they HIGHLY judge people who work on Sunday. I work in Healthcare there are no days off. My friends say "I better not treat them if they come in on Sunday lest I will be judged." Of course she was being sarcastic.

There's a small town in Colorado where a guy would run naked every night for over 10 years and no one knew the difference. Then one day he ran into a class of 5th graders laying on the ground in park waiting for the meteor shower to start. Keep your pants on in public places because you never know when or who you'll run into unexpectedly.

I love animals, but no, this isn't victimless. It's cruel to keep a goat in an apartment. It's cruel to keep a horse in a backyard barely big enough for it to move around. If it's cruel for farms to keep pigs in tiny pens, then it's cruel for you to do it, too. Just because a living, thinking, feeling creature isn't a human doesn't mean it's okay to make it suffer so that you can look "cool" for pretending a goat is basically a dog.

Again, animals can be victims, so no, this isn't victimless. Running a puppy or kitten mill is not victimless. Hoarding animals is not victimless. When the city finally came to my neighbor's, they removed NINETY-SEVEN cats. Ninety. Seven. A couple weeks later, two were made available for adoption. The others had feline lymphoma and had to be put down. They had already infected most of the other cats in the neighborhood -- my sister's cat was only 3. In less than four months, he went from an amazing, healthy, 16-pound cat to a lethargic, 9-pound skeleton. He died two days before his vet appointment. Hoarding animals is the opposite of victimless.

Fudging your sales price on used automobile sales.

The government has already received sales tax when the car was sold brand new. They're just double dipping when it gets sold as a used car

By that logic, no one should have to pay income tax, because the government already got their cut when your employer earned the money being used to pay you....and that would continue on and on up the line until you got to a handful of people leaving the amount of tax collected at an insufficient amount to adequately provide services to the population. Just like now.

The passenger is also not allowed to be drunk, this actually makes sense, to not destract the driver.

Got this straight from "Office Space" movie.

Put a tenth of a penny out of all bank transactions into your bank account. Repeatedly.

Theoretically:
The tenth of a penny when withdrawn should round down to $0.00 for each one.
The sheer number of transactions added to the target account simultaneously should register a non zero number when added to it.

Nobody loses money, you gain money.

It's not "theoretical" you're either charging someone more, or giving someone less. Doing it to a single person, they're not going to notice, pulling that s**t on a corporation, even split across hundreds of thousands of transactions, they're going to notice. My uncle got one of his daughters friends a job at Compaq....i'm not sure if it was before or after Office space came out, but the dumbass pulled the same s**t as in the movie, stole something like $400,000 over the course of a few months, and was immediately discovered at the end of the fiscal quarter. Companies, exist to make money. They keep track of it rather well.

A crime only if the vendor cuts it off; not a crime if the owner cuts it off.
