What this basically means is that you are a criminal if you break the law.
The first 5 are fairly obvious,
1 Commit bodily harm - stab, punch, kick, hurt or murder another person.
2 Steal - a car, a DVD, someone’s personal possessions (phone, wallet, jewellery, coat, shoes).
3 (In some countries) it is illegal to drink alcohol under 21 - in others it is illegal at any age.
4 Destroy someone else’s property or destroy someone’s reputation.
5 Don’t pay your taxes, claim benefits from the state that you are not entitled to.
