How not to avoid being caught

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not optimistic about the human race, which is why we spend so much time trying to give you the opportunity you deserve to excel. With us governing you there will be little to stop you from meeting your full potential, but I digress. Today's post is a cautionary tale to those of you foolish enough to flaunt the law of the land you live in by knowingly and repeatedly committing crimes. Before we start, however, we would like to explain that true supporters of the GNU Public Dictatorship work within the law to obtain their goals, not outside of it. The GNU Public Dictatorship does not encourage or coerce its supporters to do anything illegal or unethical, but instead expects complete obedience and conformity to our will from our world citizens.

Anyway, today's cautionary tale is inspired by this couple, whose admission on national TV that they regularly profited from illegal activities has finally caught up with them. While, as mentioned above, we do not support such activities, we would like to enumerate some common-sense ideas that may help avoid such embarrassment.

1. Most people, regardless of whether they are affiliated with law enforcement, watch some television. Do not assume that because there are no uniformed officers in the studio audience that none are at home listening to the show.
2. This same rule should also apply to public websites such as Facebook and YouTube. Just because you don't see the cops doesn't mean they don't see you.
3. There is no patient-doctor confidentiality when speaking to Dr. Phil in front of a television camera. You can't assume that nobody else hears what you tell him.
4. If you are going to state your income from illegal activities in public, you may want to omit the part that it is from illegal activities. Better yet, refrain from illegal activities.

We hope these guidelines have cleared up some of the confusion that caused this couple to boast about their illegal exploits in a public forum.
