I need to write a story as if I convicted a crime so I need a crime to work with

Interesting terms you use "Convicted a crime?"
Have you been on the beer already.
However I'll assume we are talking about committing a crime, or being convicted of a crime!
I heard recently about a terrible crime where somebody was fined for stopping in a yellow box junction! His car was photographed and time stamped for being stationary in the box for 2 seconds and he was made to pay the fine.
He had to stop after having driven into the box without anticipating that the car in front that was unobstructed, would slow down while possibly unsure of his bearings, and forced him the following car to stop behind in the box for two seconds!
A crime no less and because we have the motoring fines and revenue culture in the UK he was very unfairly forced to pay the fine!
Of course he could have complied with the law and kept going and rammed the offending car in which case he would have been safe and his insurance company would have born the cost of the damage!
The crime may not be spectacular however there is a certain skill required to take such a mundane set of facts and weave it into a rich, colourful, and interesting monologue!
The criminology Wiki below may be of assistance to you!

Choose some small infraction, could be just a fashion violation. It leads to some discovery in your central character re: self image, how others view. Setting's the gimmick: something's gone haywire, at least in the lens the reader looks through, how that's shaped character and choice. Build a flow chart. Read some Raymond Chandler.
