A great example of how people disobey the law to attain some immediate pleasures is through skating in places where it is illegal. For example, on 4th and campus, there is a church that a lot of skaters go to after school on a daily basis. Of course the skaters there know that what they're doing is illegal and prohibited, yet they do it anyway because for them its more fun to follow the break the rules and skate than to follow the rules.
One thing that always catches my eye when I walk down the street is the abundance of tagging and graffiti along the walls of storm drains or generally any place that is discreet enough for someone to do tagging. Personally it seems inconvenient. To jump over a rusty, jagged fence, climb down a rusty ladder into a wet, disgusting storm drain to spray paint something almost meaningless just to have someone repaint over it with federal money seems more than a waste of time. The idea that someone would do something this seemingly absurd is even more evidence of the claim that illegal things are the most fun, Only someone would be willing to do this if there was some benefit to it. The taggers know their "art" will be taken down yet the process of doing it is all fun. The thrill of trespassing, the art of evading the cops in the dead of night just to spray paint a white wall with something like a gang's name is all too fun.
Even Chaffey itself is home to some law breakers themselves. Not only does the law get broken here but also just general codes of conduct and the school rules. A great example here would be when the heavy rain came to Ontario about 2~3 months ago and "Lake Chaffey" formed. Because we are kids and we love being infamous, many kids jumped in causing a massive gathering of well over 200-300 students. It became so large that the principal had to step in and disperse everyone. This is one case that again shows that people loving to break the law/rules for fun.

Over the break i decided to go to one of my friend's house and spend some time with her. While i was there, i noticed a pill bottle with some marijuana in it. Although weed is legal now in California because of Act 64, I knew for a fact that my friends parents did not get it legally because my friend had told me that in fact they do get their weed illegally. This goes to show that even if you're a responsible adult, it's still fun to break the law everyone in a while to get some immoral and illegal pleasure ; especially when you have 3 children that love to disobey you.
Even Chaffey itself is home to some "evil do-ers." Some of the kids at this school regularly smoke weed and do other harder drugs. My friend once even told me a person she knew that was doing cocaine. Mind you, we were both freshman, and so was the student in question. Often throughout the day i find the need to use the "beautiful and clean" bathrooms here at Chaffey and often times have i found the restroom smelling like weed from the kids that use the bathrooms a place to smoke one out during passing period before class starts. Once I even saw the people smoking and how the act. They did not seem anxious at all; no fear of being caught or getting trouble. They all looked excited to be doing this. In front of all the people that could tell on them, they looked ecstatic at what was to come. This further shows that even students smoking weed in a school bathroom, seven minuted before class started, with dozens of witnesses in a disgusting bathroom even enjoyed breaking the law for their own immoral pleasures.
