If you call breaking the law a crime, then yes, you're committing a crime by committing a crime.Added; A criminal act is composed of two conscious acts: The Mens Reus (the criminal intent) and the Actus Reus (the criminal act). By committing the act you are completing the 2nd part of the offense necessary to convict you - therefore YES, you are engaged in committing a crime.But it's still a paradox. If you commit a crime by committing a crime, then wouldn't you be committing a crime for the committed crime for committing a crime> It goes on forever, but then final answer is YES.
