Mike Mandell is a lawyer, content creator, and the author of Oops! That’s Illegal: A Book For The Wildly Curious (and the Accidental Outlaw), and he’s breaking down some of the strangest laws, legal loopholes, and everyday situations that could land you in trouble! Mike explains what you should NEVER say during a traffic stop, whether you can get a DUI on a horse, bike, or lawnmower, and why field sobriety tests are tougher than most people realize. He reveals how Florida became the home of “Florida Man,” what police can really see in your Google search history, and how social media, AI, deepfakes, and Section 230 are creating legal challenges lawmakers still haven’t solved. Mike also dives into landlord disputes, noisy neighbors, debt collectors, taxes, security deposits, workplace rights, bizarre lawsuits, revenge porn laws, cheating spouses getting sued, conjoined twins facing criminal charges, and the surprising legal truth about cannibalism. Plus, stories from defending plane manufacturers in crash litigation, how his legal content exploded to more than 30 million followers, and the wild questions that inspired Oops! That’s Illegal.
