An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

Used to be a dickhead street racer type idiot back before every business, street corner and cop car had a 4k security camera. I pretty much gave it up when people started recording everything on their phones and uploading it to facebook.

If the cops were far enough away that they couldnt have gotten your plates your only real option is to turn a bunch of corners to break line of sight then hide the car. I used to keep a car cover stuffed under the passenger seat. Get a few blocks away throw the cover over the car and walk away. Essentially the same thing Toretto tried at the beginning of the first F&F movie, running draws attention.
