In Greeley, Weld County, and across Colorado, there are thousands of laws that citizens are expected to abide by. Most of them are pretty straightforward, but some are quite frankly obscure. Let’s look at 5 crazy and little-known laws you are expected to follow.
Weld County Concealment of Goods Attorney: C.R.S. 18-4-406
Let’s say you were walking around Target in Weld County and placed an item in the front of the cart, on top of your purse. The item falls in, but you remember it’s there and have every intention of paying for it when you check out. This is still a crime. Even if you haven’t left the store, you can be charged with Theft if the item is concealed or not totally visible.
Greeley Abandonment of a Motor Vehicle Lawyer: C.R.S. 18-4-512
Did your vehicle break down in Greeley and you are having trouble getting it towed? Well, you can be charged with a class 3 misdemeanor crime if it is not moved within 7 days.
Morgan County Unlawful Recording of a Live Performance Attorney: C.R.S. 18-4-604.3
It seems like everyone has their phone out at concerts in Morgan County nowadays to record the artist sing a favorite tune, but be careful what you do with that recording. It is a class 1 misdemeanor to sell the recording without the artist’s written permission. I’m sure Justin Bieber would be happy to sign off on it if you asked, though.
Sterling Hindering Transportation Lawyer: C.R.S. 18-9-114
Don’t break down in front of a public transportation vehicle, because hindering the operation could get you charged with a class 2 misdemeanor – if they think you did it on purpose.
Logan County Criminal Simulation Attorney: C.R.S. 18-5-110
Good at art? That’s an amazing talent to have! Unless, of course, you are so good that someone believes your knock off Van Gough painting is the real thing. Then you can be charged with the class 1 misdemeanor Criminal Simulation.
