Someone asked MetaFilter about the crimes committed by Ferris Bueller on his famous day off. The answers are brilliant, and the whole thread is worth reading, but here are some of the highlights:
- Violation of 720 ILCS 5/32-5.1: False Personation of a Peace Officer. (“This is Stg. Peterson, Chicago Police.”)
- Odometer fraud (tampering): 49 U.S.C. § 32703(2)
Odometer fraud (conspiracy): 49 U.S.C. § 32703(4) (“Whatever miles we put on, we’ll take off.”) - 720 ILCS 5/Art. 16D – 3 – computer tampering (when he changes his attendance record). (“I wanted a car, I got a computer. How’s that for being born under a bad sign?”)
- 720 ILCS 130/2a, contributing to the delinquency of children. Class A misdemeanor. (“He’s getting me out of summer school!” as well as picking up Sloane in the Ferrari.)
- The Save Ferris campaign might be liable for soliciting under the 740 ILCS 128 Predator Accountability Act. (The sexy nurse that shows up at the Bueller house.)
