Well if you're going to put unreasonable conditions on it...
Parking laws. Towing my car should be a capital crime.

Yeah. Hell, most "victimless" crimes harm someone, somehow. You become a crack head, it's going to put some strain on your family.
Come to think of it, I don't really want to break any laws.
Murder. :mad:

Murder. I promise I would only do it by slitting throats and letting my murdees bleed out, so it's not like I would be hurting anyone.

Of course being exemted from this law might be amusing too:

Though there'd probably be a downside I'm not thinking of...
Drug dealing?
A lot of money to be made there...
Though I would probally get shot, immunity from law or not. :(

Texas has super high sales tax and property taxes but no income tax at all. Of course I still have Federal income taxes...

two headaches? no thanks. although i guess if you left one you'd only have to give up a third of your stuff.
The obligation to pay income tax. But only if I was the only one that could get away with it.

You'd still have to convince them to consent.
Exempt from all human laws, imperfect laws made by imperfect beings are too arbitrary for my tastes.
And the physical laws regarding time and space. (the Doctor Who effect) :bowler:
Mortality. If we're talking about a state's laws, then tax.

I don't get the gravity hate. It is actually quite important. Floating everywhere maybe fun for a while. But I imagine it will be pretty tough if I can't stick to the ground. If I want to stay still in front of the computer but end up floating upwards all the time, I'd be pissed.

I think we'd all appreciate it if Martinus were flung into space by a sudden and specific failure in gravitation.

Or flung back in time to 1940.

This is true. Along with collection fees, interest, and other punitive costs.
