Meters. 400 miles? Really?
Just making sure. It wouldn't surprise me to hear miles here, because some police have nothing better to do.
IlIIllIIl
I often have nothing better to do, but I still don't think "Hey. I'll run 400 miles".
This is how just woke ip me thinks. And I wasn't sure literally running or being chased in a car running.
Didyouevertrytohugtheskybehindyourhead
Miles. They lost sight of him somewhere in China.
400 miles and I'm barely in a different state.
MySecondAccount
Bitch please. 400 miles is a trip home and back for me
Point taken. No clue where you are. I'm in Australia. 400 miles and you haven't left the sheep station.
America. Of course. Who else automatically thinks miles over meters? Damn Imperial system.

So how illegal is this? I can afford maybe a minor charge, but I'm not going to prison for this shit lol.

im more worried about being caught in the act. honestly, who would know if i changed it after the fact?

dont get caught bro. this in fact really really bad to do. but somehow. wants to do it like right the fuck now!!!!
Doesn't really matter how illegal. They'll charge you out the ass, and then you have to pay for a lawyer, so not worth it.
ISeriouslyLookLikeGoku
It's a felony because it creates liability on the road, even if there's not an incident.
knightsoftheimguriantable
A guy in Florida (I think) was sentenced to 2 years because he changed them to "Nazi Zombies Ahead" and it caused some accidents.

PleaseDoNotThrowHandsAtMe
It's a vandalism charge, which can range from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on prior convictions and collateral damage caused.
sovetskysoyuz
Not sure about vandalism, there's no actual damage or destruction happening. Seems more like mischief to me.
I see your point. I'd actually seen an article involving the "zombies ahead" where they'd been charged with vandalism but I can't find it...
...now. Probably depends on mitigating circumstances and state/local precedent.

Probably shouldn't go to law school
mbender415
This is a higher level of tampering though
Keep6
just like if there was an accident, and the police found out you hacked the sign, you can be liable to pay all expenses because of the crash
but if someone gets in an accident if they die, then you'd get charged with manslaughter or a murder charge.

DianNaoChong
Yeah I mean, if I leave my house unlocked, its alot less illegal for you to break into it.
deekat
Not less illegal, but in court you're going to look pretty stupid for leaving it unlocked and it's less likely to end harshly for the thief.
Do rapists get lesser sentences because the women dress scantily?"Its not my fault,she was asking for it!" Your line of argument is a joke.

Almost certainly not murder ... they would have to prove intent. But probably involuntary manslaughter.

No, you have to have intent to kill someone. Not intent to do something stupid.
