Do you know any crazy laws?

eg. In China it's a crime to suggest that Taiwan has a right to independence.
In Germany and Austria it's a crime to debunk the "Holocaust".

Many thanks to all of you for this amusing avalanche : I hope lots of people get as much fun out of it as I am getting! The Canadian in Paris encountered a cop who is one of many in France who have IQs of about 50!

A London cabbie has the right to urinate on the rear offside wheel of his cab (left over from horse and cart days).

In California, it is illegal to play a trumpet on the street if the intetion is to lure somene into a shop.

Well, if I get caught with a shot of Southern Comfort in front of me (God forbid IN me) in Ravoli county Montana, they promised me 6 months in jail without even going to court again. That was one heck of a night!

Giraffes can not be tied to light poles.
Donkeys may not be kept in a bathtub.
Boogers shall not be flicked into the wind.
Ice cream cones may not be placed in back pocket if it is Sunday.
I also saw something about dogs are not allowed to hump each other if they are within 50 feet of a church.
It is illegal to use profanity in front of a dead body that is in a funeral parlor.

In Aberdeen, Scotland it is still legal for you to drive a flock of sheep up the main street in the centre of the city.


Angel Barbie
Well it is illegal to ride a push bike on the pavement here in UK but who the hell takes any notice of that?

""he don't use your mobile when driving" law is an ignored law... I see umpteen people doing it every day, no one seems to take any notice.

Any casual read of the answers to this question reveals that there are more "Crazy" laws than sane one's.

Most come from the extreme religious right who don't want you doing what they do routinely.

My favorite is one which the cops here in Florida adhere to with great pride even to this day:

It is illegal for you to carry your dog in the back of a pick-up truck unleashed.

Your children however (Of any age) do not need to be leashed. They can jump off any old time they want to.

In Ukraine you cannot drive a car at nite while wearing sun glasses. The policia complained they couldn't make proper eye contact.
In Wynot, Wyoming you cannot put gum in an ashtray, heavy fine for that. That came into affect because the mayor was somewhere and a cigarette was burning some gum in an ashtray and it made his wife very ill.
In Norfolk, West Virginia, you cannot eat peanut butter in public out of the jar. That law came into affect because some people left the jars lying around and squirrels got trapped in them.


Floppy Dick
Yes the most used and abused law in Britain today.....The human rights law.


Big Bad Boris Mayor of London
Any law that discriminates against the indigenous population!


Mental Mickey
It's against the law to walk around the streets of Paris wearing a souvenir T-shirt of Amsterdam with a big Cannabis leaf on it.


Facile Princeps
In the U.K. It is illegal to beat your wife with any object that is more than the width of your thumb..Hence the saying, by rule of thumb..not many people know that
