Dumb Laws

[leehype]

I was just wasting time online and i ran accross this page, http://www.legal-forms-kit.com/legal-jokes/dumb-laws.html . The sad thing is i know there are more dumb laws out there. Since i haven't started a thread since I started, I felt this can't be a bad start. If anyone knows any more dumb laws please share.

I find this funny.

Idaho
*Illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.
*You may not fish on a camel's back.
*Riding a merry-go-round on Sundays is considered a crime.
*If a police officer approaches a vehicle and suspects that the occupants are engaging in sex, he must either honk, or flash his lights and wait for three minutes before approaching the car.

O.k. the first one I have broken A lot of times.

Arizona laws that aren't really funny.


*There is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.

That's only in effect for cutting down 100 year+ giant saguarros.

*When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.

This one's only in effect for large jumps, i.e. using a shotgun to defend yourself from someone with a stick.

I find this funny.

Well, now I know what state to be in next time I feel like getting road head.

New Jersey oral sex is illegal.. and not just in public.. If a cop walks by your open window and sees your girl going down on you, he can arrest you.. not that he will since he's too busy picking up a hooker in his car while doing drugs he just confiscated off of a dealer..

In California it's illegal to eat an orange in your bathtub.

 

[Taylor_Blade]

It is illegal to stab yourself to gain someone's pity.

It is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

A D.C. federal judge has ruled that begging is a form of free speech protected by the Constitution. That means that mugging is free speech too, only more persuasive.

You may not kiss your wife's breasts.

I ran across these, on a law humor website. [email protected]

* In certain sections of Pennsylvania many years ago, the Farmer's Anti-Automobile society set up some "rules of the road." In effect, they said

1. "Automobiles traveling on country roads at night must send up a rocket
every mile, then wait ten minutes for the road to clear."

2. "If a driver sees a team of horses, he is to pull to one side of the road and
cover his machine with a blanket or dust cover that has been painted to blend into the scenery."

3. "In the event that a horse refuses to pass a car on the road, the owner must take his car apart and conceal the parts in the bushes."

The thing that get me is the laws that came out as the result of something. "In Alaska it illeagle to push a moose out of an airplane." :confuse: "In Illinois it illeagle to eat in a place thats on fire" Why are these even laws? Theres a shit load of these that are truly dumb.

Texas

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

According to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the only authorized sexual activity for service members is intercourse missionary style with spouse.

 

[wootness]

i heard some were in america i think idaho (im not sure im australian) that your not alowed to carry an icy pole in your back pocket

 

[morelos]

all of the california "laws" are either stripped of their contextual value (car without a driver - this was for remote-controlled and unmanned vehicles such as large prototype auto-pilot cars) or are obviously the result of someone losing a court case for something else and getting hell-bent, then going around claiming it's a law by precedent (illegal for a secretary to be alone in a room with her boss - clearly some asswipe bitching because he lost a criminal sexual harassment case where he thought he did nothing wrong).

 

[sideshow_bob]

Marijuana is illegal.

dont forget the general article.. if it comes down to it an we really wanna screw you.... we'll make something up...

for those who dont know thats the basics of what the general article is... it says vaguely "For any instance not covered by any other article that involves the breaking of a law, moral code, or military behaivor, it shall be covered under this article.". the we can just make it up law..
