To Do
519. Go undercover with a voice recorder
Updated September 7, 2009 Do people only do this in the movies? That can’t be true – they have to use a hidden voice recorder sometimes to get people to admit to things in private that they’d never reveal to a larger group. On one hand, this doesn’t appeal to me since I’d be exploiting […]

Updated May 19, 2009 It really is a real thing. You can arrest and/or detain someone if you witness them committing a felony. You can also take them to the police station. Though, I imagine it’s pretty scary and maybe not the smartest thing. Maybe if I witness someone really un-scary commiting a white collar […]
18. Learn the constitution and all the amendments
In current times, it’s especially important to know what rights our Constitution guarantees us.
