Jaywalking, I do this every day. Even stepping off the curb before the walk light turns.
Not stopping completely at a stop sign.
Sharing a cat photo you found online. Doubly so if you rehosted it (imgur, Instagram, etc). Sharing stuff on the internet, even without shades of piracy, is fraught with copyright problems.
Speeding. I'd be very surprised if you drove at or below the speed limit all the time, every day.
Not speeding - there are minimum speed statutes in some jurisdictions.
Not in the US, but in other jurisdictions like Japan and France, taking a random picture on the street where someone is identifiable.
The list goes on, and on, and on...

- sbov 14y agoJaywalking - stepping off the curb and into the crosswalk when the red hand is flashing is jaywalking. Everyone does it though.
- jacalata 14y agoI would be surprised if anyone didn't know this was illegal, though?
- sp332 14y agoWhen it's flashing, not solid? I didn't know that.
- potatolicious 14y agoDiffers by jurisdiction, obviously, but everywhere I've ever been it's illegal to begin crossing when the light is flashing, and legal to complete a crossing already in progress.
- wrs 14y agoThat's the whole point of the flashing. It tells you when it's too late to start walking and make it across the street before the light changes. Some cities have a little quick-reference guide stuck to the pole to remind you of this. Here in Seattle it used to be quite common to get a ticket for jaywalking. Now it only seems to happen if you block traffic flow on a downtown street during rush hour.
- rosser 14y agoSimilarly, in several states, it's illegal to enter an intersection when the signal light is yellow.
- dalke 14y agoI'm feeling very legal. Jaywalking isn't illegal here, I didn't share anything in violation of copyright, and I didn't drive today.
