For the past eight years he has worked with Shipman &amp; Goodwin LLP representing clients in federal criminal defense matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chase says the federal justice system deals mostly with just a handful of offenses \u2013 involving guns, drugs, immigration and fraud \u2013 but there are so many peculiar and obscure crimes on the books that it\u2019s almost impossible to know them all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2014 I started tweeting one federal crime every day on the handle @CrimeADay.&nbsp;I\u2019ve never missed a day and I estimate I have about 800 years left to go,\u201d he says. \u201cThis book was a way to take the thousands of hours of research I\u2019ve done into these laws and get more into the \u2018why\u2019 of it all \u2026 Everyone deserves to laugh at a system that has so many crimes nobody can count them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book also gets into why certain laws came into existence and in some cases discusses the occasions when people were prosecuted for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have been charged and convicted of selling mail-order dentures, illegal flamingo sales, and even boarding a boat a little too early,\u201d he says. \u201cCertainly people aren\u2019t getting charged with cheese crimes every day, but these are real crimes and some of them maybe shouldn\u2019t be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Making an unreasonable gesture to a passing horse in a national park.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of my favorites.&nbsp;It\u2019s probably intended to prevent people from scaring horses, but it\u2019s drafted very broadly and presumably flipping off a horse could be charged.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Giving out unlabled, single-serving margarine in a restaurant unless it\u2019s triangular in shape.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great holdover from the notorious butter wars of the late 1800s.&nbsp;Apparently lawmakers (with a little help from the dairy industry) were super concerned that people would be tricked into eating margarine thinking it was butter.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trying to change the weather without a permit.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt specifically prohibits things like using lasers to make it rain, but it\u2019s not clear that there\u2019s a viable rain-laser on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mailing live scorpions in packaging that isn\u2019t clearly labeled \u201cLIVE SCORPIONS.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cYou know what, I\u2019m okay with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Selling overly runny ketchup.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I think all ketchup should be a crime, but federal law is clear that it can\u2019t be too runny.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Letting your falconry falcon appear in a movie that\u2019s not about falconry.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re allowed to train a bird of prey if you have a permit, but you can\u2019t let it star in a movie unless the movie is about falconry.&nbsp;So be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Combining Chase\u2019s love of film and the law, what is his favorite movie about criminal law?<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>My Cousin Vinnie<\/em> is way at the top of the list,\u201d he says. \u201cI teach trial practice at UConn Law School now, where I teach law students how to try a case to a jury, and there\u2019s no better movie to use as an example when teaching good \u2013 and bad \u2013 cross-examination than <em>My Cousin Vinnie<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he was in UCF\u2019s Bachelor of Fine Arts program, he said he learned the importance of telling a story and doing it with your own unique voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I came to UCF as an 18 year-old kid, I don\u2019t think I had a voice yet,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I spent three years in that program with the same 30 or so colleagues, who were such impressive storytellers&nbsp;and artists that it forced me to be better, funnier and smarter.&nbsp;Plus, storyboarding my own films didn\u2019t hurt when it came time to illustrate a book about ridiculous laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says he hopes his book brings to life what is sometimes a boring topic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can learn an awful lot about how statutes and regulations and criminal law in general works by reading it, but you can also laugh the whole time,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd it doesn\u2019t just skewer Congress and regulators.&nbsp;It actually points out how necessary some of these laws are \u2013 because there are no limits on how dumb and dangerous people can be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book by\u00a0<strong>Mike Chase \u201907<\/strong>, a UCF film graduate who later became an attorney, looks at the peculiar federal
