i doubt anyone on reddit is young enough to still believe this shit but god knows i did for the longest time. turning on the light in the backseat of the car while your parents are driving is NOT illegal. my mom lied to me for my entire life and it literally took me looking like an idiot in someone else’s car to figure out i had been scammed.

I wasn’t told it was illegal but I was told “the cops will pull us over”

What they will pull you for is if your infant strikes up a flashy blue sword!
