Laws are not meant to be broken but that doesn't mean they can't be bent or twisted a little bit to perfectly fit a given scenario. Seeking out legal loopholes is a big part of a lawyer's job. They get paid massive amounts of money to use their eagle eyes to find that one tiny clause that'll make a big difference to their clients' lives, and often bank accounts.
We've heard of billionaires using loopholes to get out of paying taxes, or even criminals exploiting an unexpected loophole to get out of jail free. But there are some perfectly legal ways for ordinary people to beat the system too, as we discovered while reading through an intriguing online thread.
Someone had asked lawyers to share some of the most interesting laws or loopholes they've encountered on the job. And legal experts weren't afraid to speak up. No less than 5,000 comments came pouring in. Some were clever, others absurd and a few were actually entertaining.
Bored Panda has put together a list of the best for you to scroll through before you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law. We also take a look at some infamous times people have found a loophole and managed to exploit the heck out of it. You'll find that info between the images.

There is a part of Idaho where you could commit a crime and the government would be constitutionally unable to charge you for it (though there are a bunch of caveats). The general gist of it is that the 6th amendment guarantees a jury consisting of people who live in the district and state that the crime was committed, and no one lives in that district of Idaho due to the fact that it is part of Yellowstone park. Also, I'm not a lawyer, so I probably wouldn't advise you all to head over there based on what I just said...

If you own your own business you can buy a large SUV you will get a $25,000 tax CREDIT...yes CREDIT not deduction. So if you think about it, if you buy a SUV and sell it every year, you will make money on it.
If you dont believe me, Google Section 179 deduction.
