Can you get in trouble for texting an inmate?
It depends on what state you and the inmate live in, and precisely how the laws are written and enforced. Generally speaking, however, in the USA it is against the law for county, state and federal prisoners to have access to any communications device that is outside the monitoring capability of the prison authorities (some facilities do allow email now, but these communications, as I said, are carefully monitored).So, if you are receiving texts from a prisoner and sending texts back, it is likely she/he is using a cell phone—which is illegal—even as much as the smuggling of the phone into the prison is likewise. The inmate can absolutely be punished for this violation of the law as well as the smuggler(s), but as your question has to do with the recipient—that is a questionable matter (for an attorney to answer, as this is not legal advice) and it depends a great deal on whether or not the recipient has full knowledge that the person they are communicating with is in fact in prison or jail.That said, if you are a family member or friend of the inmate, and you are discovered texting, then whether or not you are ever personally prosecuted, you would nevertheless most likely be severely restricted by the prison authorities in any and all future communications (phone calls, letters and or visits). So this is not a minor issue to be taken lightly.Note, however, that in California (and possibly other states) there are similar statutes or codes that prohibit residents and/or patients in other secure (non-prison) state facilities from using cell phones and computers as well, but this kind of use/possession is not criminal in nature and falls under the category of institutional rule violations—which don’t extend to the level of misdemeanor or felony misconduct. Hope this helps.

There are too reasons you could get in trouble. The first is by claiming the goods are authentic. That is fraud against the buyer.

Can I get in trouble/pulled over if I have too much stuff packed in my car?
I'm going home from college and I went from moving in with a full size van to moving out with my suzuki forenza which it a decent sized car. However it's obviously not a van so it's super packed full. Can I get in trouble on my drive home for having my car too packed? I did leave a little spot behind the driver's side head to see out the back and I can see both side mirrors...
Could you get in trouble for stealing earrings?
no they wouldn't track her down for that the police have better more important things to do then track down a thief with 3 dollars worth of stuff. the only way usually that you would get in trouble for something like that is if you were caught as you left the store otherwise you wouldn't get caught. but maybe you should reconsider your friends because people who do stuff like that aren't worth having as friends even if it is just 3 dollars worth of stuff. and if you were out with her and she steals something again and gets caught you could get in trouble too for being with her and that to me does not sound worth it.

Depends. On your age, the age difference, and what is meant by “beat up".Essentially, though, beating up on someone is assault. Depending on where you are and how bad it is it may be a misdemeanor or a felony.

Adult up and work out your differences in a non-violent manner.
Could I get in trouble for dumping a drink on someone's head?
Yesterday I was sitting in Panda Express, drinking a pepsi and eating my dinner. Then I see teenage guy walk in with his girlfriend. He looked about 17, 2 years younger than me! and he had a hot girlfriend with him. I am 19 years old and I'm still a virgin; never had a girlfriend of even kissed. Because of this I feel a great deal of hatred towards other men who have girlfriends. Whenever I see a guy with a hot girlfriend in public I get very, very angry. So this insolent young couple starts kissing each other while they are waiting for their food, and it was torturing me. I was boiling with rage. Here I am, a 19 year old, watching someone 2 years younger than me enjoy my heart's desire, right in front of me. This couple then left the restaurant once they got their food, and walked down the street. I looked at my cup of pepsi and saw an opportunity for revenge. I left the store, ran after them, and poured my cup of pepsi over both of their heads. They were completely drenched. Then I ran back to the store, too excited to pay attention to their reactions. I got a free refill and finished my dinner, a satisfied grin on my face. Ever since that moment, I've been a bit worried that there is some kind of law against doing that. I'm always worried about breaking the rules. I didn't pick a fight with them or anything, I just drenched them in pepsi. If they tell on me, I won't get in trouble, will I?
Legally, how much trouble can you get in for sneaking out?
Lets say you get into an accident, since you shouldn't be out that late, it COULD be your fault even if you didnt cause the accident becuase you shouldn't have been out. However, you are a minor, so then your parents could get into trouble.
