Most kids here in Texas learn right from wrong at an early age. We also learn there are consequences for our actions. While we might not love learning those lessons as a kid, they truly help us become better people. They also help us to avoid making mistakes or breaking the law as adults. But it’s interesting how many people break the law daily here in Texas, many without even realizing it.  

You’re probably laughing about people breaking the law and not realizing it, but it’s true. Most people throughout the day will probably drive somewhere, well even one mile per hour over the speed limit is technically breaking the law. You probably won’t be pulled over by law enforcement for going one mile an hour over the speed limit but we all know that we are expected to not exceed the posted limit. As you can tell, it’s easier to break the law than you think.

Pay Attention and Be Respectful 

If you’re in a situation with law enforcement because you broke a law, the most important thing you can remember is to be respectful. While you might have broken a law, officers just want to make sure you don’t repeat that behavior. Being nice can go far when it comes to your punishment for breaking the law.
