25 Crazy Laws From Around the World
http://www.socyberty.com/Law/25-Crazy-Laws-From-Around-the-World.38998
We have all heard of some pretty silly laws. Here are twenty-five of the craziest I have ever heard of. (With the exception of #25, I think it is an unwritten law everywhere…)
In Bozeman, Montana, a law prohibits all sexual activity from the front yard of a home after sundown.
In Salt Lake County, Utah, it’s illegal to walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag.
In San Francisco, it’s illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.
In Devon, Texas, it is against the law to make furniture while you are nude.
In Oklahoma, you can be arrested for making ugly faces at a dog. ( What if it’s an ugly dog…?)
In California it is illegal for a vehicle without a driver to exceed 60 miles per hour.
In Florida men seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown can be fined.
In South Carolina it is legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
In Tennessee, you are breaking the law if you drive while sleeping…
In New York, the penalty for jumping off a building is: Death. ( Go figure…)
In Danville, Pennsylvania, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.
In Pennsylvania, it’s against the law to tie a dollar bill on a string on the ground and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.
In New York City, it’s illegal for a restaurant to call a sandwich a “corned beef sandwich” if it’s made with white bread and mayonnaise. ( I agree 100%! )
In California it is illegal to set a mouse trap without a hunting license.
In France, it is against the law to sell an “E.T” doll. They have a law forbidding the sale of dolls that do not have human faces.
In Athens, Greece, a driver’s license can be taken away if the driver is thought to be either “poorly dressed” or “unbathed”
In Calgary Alberta, there is still a by-law that requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.
In Wilbur, Washington, it is illegal to ride an ugly horse. ( but can you make faces at him? )
In Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered “simple assault,” but biting someone with your dentures is “aggravated assault.”
In the state of Washington, it is illegal to have sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (Including the wedding night.)
In Switzerland, it is illegal for a man to relieve himself while standing up after 10pm.( even with the light on? )
In Florida, it is illegal to **** in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays.
In Massachusetts, it is illegal to go to bed without first having a bath. (However, another law prohibits bathing on Sunday)
In Jidda, Saudi Arabia, women were banned from using hotel swimming pools in 1979.
In Samoa, it’s a crime to forget your own wife’s birthday…

Crazy ??
Some of that is just good common sense !!
Others would be counteracted by more recent laws if anyone attempted to apply their statutes.

A few of us could have been arrested on the ski trip last year. :eek:
[QUOTE=1bad65;900128]Nothing nitpicky about it. Accusing someone of child abuse and welfare fraud are serious allegations. I believe those are actually felonies. If I were her, and his assertions are bs, I’d go after him in civil court and in criminal court.[/QUOTE]Quite.

my brother and i got banned from austria for 10 years after we barricaded ourselves in an abandon building and stacked cobblestones in the window incase we needed to toss them at the 100 or so riot police that surrounded the place… we lasted 6 hours until the alcohol wore off… it was us, a few locals, a few bosnian refugees, and one boston chick who was on a university trip. we were allowed back in this year… boy how time does fly.
so i guess stacking bricks and stones in the windows to throw at police is against the law in austria.
Squatting
B&E
Assaulting an Officer
Resisting Arrest
Yeah. You are lucky you didn’t get jail time. You know, assuming this really happened. Not an assumption I would make considering you are a Troll.

Not an assumption I would make considering you are a Troll.[/QUOTE]call me a troll, but i ain’t no liar… i spent two weeks in depo and had my DNA swabbed before they flew us back to the states and then had the gall to send us a bill for it… which of course we never paid.
i anticipate the feds knocking on my door to arrest me on charges relating to my stances on certain issues of american foreign policy, along with my general belief structure… any law can be enacted to make anything one does illegal, so it is no suprise to me that these sorts of things will be more frequent in the future… yet relating to this particular incident involving the accuasations of child abuse, i stand behind the an investigation into them… harming children and hiding the fact is beyond contempt… but stating personal beliefs that are at war with political correctedness is another issue. all i can say is… bring it on, i understand full well the repurcussions that may stem for my beliefs and i take full responsibility for speaking and expressing my views and beliefs… it takes courage to stand up for what one believes in…
lol. dude, you are a pissant living in the woods, getting high and babbling on a forum.
hardly what would be worth expending dollar one concerning your political views which are more than anything tin foil hat wearing rants coming from an ignorant perspective.
just saying. lol. you wish you were somehow important, but unfortunately for you you can’t bring yourself out of you drugged out stupor long enough to grasp any reality that is worthwhile.
now go back into your box of hate and get all riled up about police or something.

yeah true, i am too busy working, chopping firewood, and building my martial arts training playground to be concerned with reality.
now go back into your box of hate and get all riled up about police or something.
just waiting patiently for something worthwhile to rant about… til then i am content just being who i am.
ya’ll are really quite the comic relief.
i wonder how many people are alive that can even fully draw an english longbow.
you have to start practicing with those as a kid. some interesting studies done on the bones of former english longbowmen.
i remember reading something that drawing a traditional english longbow was akin to lifting a full grown man over your head with basically one arm.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. The traditional D-segment longbow had a draw between 70 and 120 lbs depending on the wood it was made of and the thickness of the bow.

Your link is blocked by my work filter.
I am not “afraid” to visit certain hyperlinks. I simply am incapable from viewing a lot of web content (including photobucket) from work.
As almost all my forum time is while at work this means that I don’t generally view things from blocked pages… or posted by Sanjuro Ronin because some of his stuff borders NSFW.
I’ll look at it from home.
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;900564]LOL @ “Lack of Sufficient Funds” !!
Hobo ![/QUOTE]hey i was a travelling street juggler… i woke up broke and went to sleep broke… had one heck of an experience though.
replaces a scalpel with a sledgehammer
What interests me is that Craig’s List is unaccountable. I get a ‘cease & desist’ for this forum every once in a while. I always tell them that it’s not our forum as much as the member. We can ban them and remove the posts, but that member can simply move on to another forum. Then they have to chase them across the internet. I always suggest the settle it with the member with whom they have their grievance. They seldom get it however.
Criminal-libel laws’ overreach
Laws that permit criminal-libel prosecution for online trash talk fly in the face of the 1st Amendment.
December 11, 2008
In keeping with Shakespeare’s observation that “he that filches from me my good name … makes me poor indeed,” someone suing for libel ordinarily seeks financial compensation from the person or publication that injured his or her reputation. But archaic laws in several states also allow libel to be prosecuted as a criminal offense, and a Colorado man accused of defaming his ex-girlfriend online now faces the possibility of 18 months in prison.
The prosecution of J.P. Weichel is an affront to the 1st Amendment, and a federal or state court should declare Colorado’s law unconstitutional. Allowing the prosecution to proceed any further also would encourage prosecutors in 14 other states with criminal-libel laws to resurrect this “crime” in response to trash talk on the Internet. That in turn might galvanize legislators in states without such laws to enact them. The 1st Amendment would be the loser.
Many Americans will be surprised that the offense of criminal libel exists, though they may remember from history class that in 1798, Congress passed a Sedition Act making it a crime to engage in “malicious writing against the government of the United States.” The law, which later lapsed, would be declared unconstitutional today because it punished political speech.
Weichel was not criticizing the government when he posted on Craigslist, under the heading “rants and raves,” accusations that his former girlfriend had committed child abuse and welfare fraud and had engaged in sex with a “crooked” lawyer. Such comments were clearly damaging, and Weichel should have been prepared for a civil lawsuit. What he shouldn’t have expected was that he would be charged with a crime.
Criminal law is primarily designed to promote the public good, not redress private grievances. Even the Sedition Act, a naked attempt to suppress political speech, was clothed in the language of public safety, linking criticism of officials to the creation of “unlawful combinations against the government.” No threat to public safety was posed by Weichel’s posts.
Criminalizing libel, as one expert told The Times, replaces a scalpel with a sledgehammer by forcing a defendant to contend in court with the power of the state, not with a plaintiff whose own conduct can be made an issue. Ironically, such laws may have survived for so long because they are almost never enforced; when they have been, courts have intervened, citing constitutional guarantees of free speech. It might be harder to check the use of criminal libel if the offense becomes more popular with lawyers and legislatures because of defamation on the Internet. But libel online, like all libel, is best redressed by replenishing the plaintiff’s purse, not by turning the defendant into a criminal.
