What word describes putting oneself in reach of the law

word-choice single-word-requests

The title isn’t great and I couldn’t think of something more appropriate.

I'm looking for a work that can be used to indicate that the next phrase may put the writer at risk of being within the reach of the law.

The context might be something like:

At the risk of {something} myself, I have to confess, I always steal the table sauce at restaurants

The word that came to mind was “inditing” “indicting” but searching for the meaning of the word, it seems to mean something different than I imagined.


Incriminating might be the word you're looking for.
