Nearly every episode contains a felony since he's constantly taking medication obtained via prescription fraud.

That came later, I think at least to begin with he was just prescribing to himself, then lost privileges.

I don't think it is outright illegal to prescribe yourself drugs. Judy discouraged.

Nah, it's super illegal. At least in the version of New Jersey the show takes place in.

They point that out a couple of times during the run of the series and if memory serves, that's actually one of the few crimes of his that he ALMOST gets in real trouble for.

That and stealing Wilson's prescription pad to make it seem like he's the one prescribing them. Which is of course a couple seperate crimes 😄

He did kind of sort of run a goddamn car through a house. Then he went to jail for exactly one fucking episode.

Admittedly I haven't put that much effort into this search, but I am surprised to learn that the real life New Jersey apparently does not have this law in the criminal code. Most other places do though!
