Not kinda ridiculous laws we have here. But here's one
-Pedestrians should use bridges or traffic lights to cross the road because vehicles don't have to stop at zebra crossings until you actually start crossing – quite scary.
-Public displays of affection are not only frowned on, they may be illegal.

My personal favourite is the law that says cyclists over a certain age must ride on the road not the path so that they're not a danger to pedestrians. Because having all this slow-moving and/or stupid cyclists on the road with cars and trucks is apparently safer.

apparently here there is a law that you cant be drunk and in charge of a cow.
Which makes a good bit of sense, actually, even though it may be oddly specific to cattle and may not include, say, bison or elephants. The law will seem quaint and irrelevent to most people, but there are many cows and many farmers still in the world, and controlling a large animal can be very difficult. The handler has to remain well aware of the environment and the animal's reactions to it, so naturally one ought to be sober to make the appropriate judgement calls.

A person must get a referral from a licensed physician if he or she wishes to see a hypnotist unless the desired procedure is to quit smoking or lose weight.

dumblaws is a pretty dumb website. For example, the summary of:

9.36.150 Carrying animals on outside of vehicle. No person driving a motor vehicle shall transport any animal in the back of the vehicle in a space intended for any load on the vehicle on a street unless the space is enclosed or has side and tail walls to a height of at least 46 inches extending vertically from the floor, or the animal is cross tethered to the vehicle, or is protected by a secured container or cage, in a manner which will prevent the animal from being thrown, falling or jumping from the vehicle.
is:

No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car.
What? There is no reference to tying animals to the roof of the vehicle, in fact, tying an animal down in the cargo area is one of the ways of legally carrying an animal outside of the vehicle. And how is that a dumb law? Don't we want to ensure that animals are kept safe if they have to be transported in the cargo bay of a vehicle?

Big Government. Small Brains. Dumb Laws.
Wow. Way to keep the American public informed, guys.

This one is mildly confusing..
You're not allowed to possess, sell or buy marijuana here (Germany), however the pure consumation of it is perfectly legal; I'm unsure if weird law-gic or someone just missed something

They probably want to criminalize the trade of the drug without criminalizing recreational use. Kind of like how in some countries being a prostitute is legal, but buying sex from a prostitute isn't.

Here are a few dumb laws in Washington State:

The harassing of Bigfoot, Sasquatch or other undiscovered subspecies is a felony punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment.

X-rays may not be used to fit shoes.

When two trains come to a crossing, neither shall go until the other has passed.
