REGARDING #GIVINGTUESDAY:
If you wonder why you don't see much from us today, it's because of a promise we made to our email list... a promise you didn't see!

We uh.... We don't know WHAT to do with this... but it seems worth sharing?

Our new "Accidental Crime" concern's for the 2025-26 school year right now are Egg-Shell Fuel-Gels, Fiberglass Pillow Pranks, E-Bike traffic, and Admission-Fee House Parties.

We stay on top of pre-viral trends so you don't get blindsided.

It costs us an average of $3,375 to serve an entire 5th grade class (~135 students) with REALReady, our "I didn't know that was a crime" prevention experience.

We're in Day 1 of CCSD's school year today. If you want to sponsor a school, reach out.

Why does Project REAL do the work we do?

How important is it, really?

Exhibit A:

Note to self: Future Lawblog

Bills, Bail, & You?
Dollars, Descisions, & You?
Cars, Cash, & You?
Highways, Hijinks, & You... (*probably this one)

Free cash = free federal charges!

Some would call that....highway robbery!

One of the benefits of what we do is enhance critical thinking. That's not a dig at the kiddo in the story: The world is getting filled w/ more confusing stimuli & info (and laws). We're here to help them prepare to navigate these evolving landscapes...

Not ready for your kid’s ill-informed trolling & online pranks to result in federal charges this summer? Get them #SummerReady by May 1's #NationalLawDay
January 8, 2026 at 8:08 AM
Imagine your kid joins an 80's inspired #TikTokChallenge the night before it rains, and the trespassing & property damage charges you'll deal with after - OR - get your kid #SummerReady by May 1's #NationalLawDay
January 8, 2026 at 8:08 AM
TFW your kid explores abandoned spots in search of a new place to skate, hang, and just call their own… and you get a call about trespassing & maybe even vandalism too!  As we count down to #NationalLawDay on May 1, consider getting your kid #SummerReady

When your kids say they’re going ‘adventuring’ and you later learn from the cops that they meant ‘Urban Hunting’ and now it’s a national news story….

#LawDay2025 is coming, and with it will be all the #NevadaYouthLawAwarenessDay proclamations, and meme's to spread awareness of them.

We may have a #WombatLady one this year about #WildlifeCrimes and #TravelLaw... Thoughts? :)
January 8, 2026 at 8:07 AM
May 1 is coming... and so are our #LAWDAY Memes.

Remember kids: The law says what it says, not what we think it should say!

A Fayette County woman claimed a deer as her pet. The Game Commission took it, saying that's illegal.
A game warden found a buck that was wearing a dog collar while serving a search warrant in Fayette County.

Look, as far as laws go? Don't break them, obvi.

Charger plates though? Go ahead and eat off of'em. Rules aren't laws.

A plate is a plate.

This is supposed to be our place for levity, snark, and fun. Today, that's been taken from us.

We... we just can't with this. It's why we are what we are, but still... Ugh.

TLDR: Surveys showing 1/3 American adults can’t name the 3 branches of federal govt, and 10% of college graduates think TV’s “Judge Judy” – serves on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sheriff Chitwood said in a post announcing the arrest. “He had written a list of names and targets. He says it was all a joke.”

Book #REALReady for your students now, so they learn "I was just joking" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card!

Note To Selves:

Claw Machines, Crime, & You (another lawblog entry for the kids). Is it organized crime in another nation? Sure. Can we make it relevant anyhow? YouBetchya!
Claw machine games are Rio de Janeiro's new public enemy
Rio de Janeiro police carried out 16 search warrants targeting the claw machines that elicit exhilaration among children and adults alike across the city.

So, in a practical sense, this isn't something we're worried about kids doing.... BUT... reading the story, there's definitely a lesson of "Is it worth the risk that some of what you're about to do MIGHT be a crime?" in here, so... #REALReady 😅
