Stupid Laws
 

What ones do you know of?

A couple I've thought of:

Its legal for a pregnant woman to wee into a police officers hat

If someone looks through you're window whilst you've got nothing on then its public indecency

No cows may be driven down the road between 10am and 7pm unless there is prior approval from the Commissioner of Police.

It is illegal for you to hang your bed out of the window (seriously wtf?)

In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

It is illegal to die in the houses of parliament...

Putting a stamp upside down is classed as treason

i think our country is pretty tame for them compared to some that are really just like what the hell

It is a legal requirement for taxi drivers to carry a bale of hay in their boot.

18+ drinking

:laugh2: this is for alabama and think this is one of the most stupid i have read

It is illegal to sell peanuts in Lee County after sundown on Wednesday.

"In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague. "

"In Chester, Welshmen are banned from entering the city before sunrise and from staying after sunset. " << Andy.

"In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle. "


I think these are old laws, just ones that have been set in the past and probably have been changed. Still funny.

Couple of other stupid ones.

"In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation. "

"In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad. "

"It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down"

"In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow"

And Women can pee anywhere they want not just a policemans hat lol.

I think most of the laws were changed when trying to make them suit certain kings haha, if someone was bugging them, instead of spreading gossip they would change laws so they couldn't do certain things.

i just read one something like a fake moustache must not be worn in church if it creates laughter
